ABOUT Emily Sullivan

 

I’m Emily, and I’m a user experience designer. 

 

What does that mean?

 

I’m a philosopher by nature and empathizer at heart. My approach to user experience is to gather as many pieces of information about the user’s problem and needs and to turn those problems into something useful. My strengths lie in taking large,complex ideas and pieces of information and carving them down into succinct, easy to comprehend concepts. My undergraduate studies in philosophy have helped to sharpen my skills in analysis, synthesis, and ethics. 

 

​

 

Finding the core. 

 

What is the MOST pivotal need? What is the MOST comprehensive yet simple way to address this problem? What is the underlying common thread in what my users are telling me?

 

Cohesion out of Chaos

 

I receive some of the most satisfaction out of my work when I reach that moment of clarity, when all the chaos of the separate bits of data, user insights and problems start to solidify in my mind into a cohesive solution.
