Profile
This is me, Ari
There are a few things I enjoy immensely in life:
-
Solving problems. Whether it be in a professional setting or simply being the person who provides the perfect piece of advice at the right time, I find great joy in being of service.
-
Mysteries. I love a good mystery, especially those that keep me guessing until the very end.
-
Art and creativity. I have always admired artistic talent, and I have always wanted to be an artist myself, but my inability to color inside the lines has held me back.
-
Sound reasoning. I find great comfort in sound reasoning, as it creates trust in the truth of a situation.
Finding user experience design has been a wonderful journey that has allowed me to combine these seemingly unrelated loves into a profession that brings great value to my life and the lives of others. UX design is a blend of creativity and reason, empathy and action. It is about getting to the bottom of what a user truly needs and providing the perfect solution for them based on sound reasoning and logic.
