About Me
I'm Aoife and I'm based in Limerick City, Ireland. As a designer with a focus on UX and UI, I am passionate about creating digital products that are both beautiful and intuitive. With 8 years of professional experience and a college degree in Digital Media Design, I have the skills and knowledge necessary to tackle even the most complex projects. My design philosophy centers around user needs, and I believe that good design should make people's lives easier and more enjoyable. If you're looking for a designer who can create engaging and user-friendly products, I'm here to help.
My Goals
Build Delightful Experiences
I strive to build delightful, easy-to-use experiences for users. My work focuses on crafting designs that prioritise accessibility and intuitiveness. I always keep the end-user in mind to ensure that every experience is as enjoyable and effective as possible.
Help See the Bigger Picture
My work involves producing user journey maps and service blueprints that ensure that every touchpoint in the user experience adds value. I work closely with all stakeholders to define project goals that allow for a seamless and holistic product experience.
Remain Constantly Curious
As a curious individual, I'm always asking questions and looking for innovative solutions to problems. I strive to approach every project with a fresh perspective, and by doing so, I have the opportunity to solve complex problems in unique ways.
My Story
My love for design began with a fascination for how people interact with products, both digital and physical. I am constantly inspired by the idea that design can make a positive impact on people's lives. My years of experience have allowed me to work on a variety of projects, from web and mobile apps to physical devices. I know that good design isn't just about aesthetics – it's about how the product serves the user. That’s why I always start with users needs and then craft designs that are both visually stunning and highly functional.
My Process
Empathize
As a designer, my first priority is to empathize with users and understand their needs. By taking the time to listen and truly understand their pain points, I can design solutions that are tailored to their unique circumstances and goals.
Define
By defining project goals, wireframing, prototyping, and testing with users, I ensure that every aspect of the project is accounted for. I work closely with all stakeholders to design a product that meets users unique requirements.
Implement
I work very closely with developers to ensure the design is correctly implemented. User testing and feedback gathering exercises lead to an iterative design process, where I can constantly improve on and grow the product.
