Hi! I’m Cory.
As a UX Designer, my main objective is to create best-in-class product experiences that are intuitive and enjoyable to the people who use them. I make it top priority to engage with the people who I am designing for, understand their journey (needs/goals/pain points), and leverage that knowledge to produce a realistic design solution that will make their lives easier than it was before.
