About Denise

As a user experience designer, my objective is to design the best product experience by evaluating users’ needs and goals. I like to follow a user-centered design methodology by defining the scope of a design problem, doing user research to understand who the target audience is and how their needs align with the design scope, sketch and design concepts and ideate, create prototypes to test on users, and iterate based on user feedback. My specialties include design ideation, visual and interaction design, and prototyping.

I currently work as a Senior User Experience Designer at Ontra. I have had the opportunity to work at companies such as Highspot, Moz, Amazon, and Alaska Airlines. I completed my M.S. degree at the University of Washington’s Human Centered Design and Engineering (HCDE) evening Masters program getting a foundation in user-centered design and human computer interaction in June 2016.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending my free time rock climbing, backcountry skiing, cycling, hanging out with friends, painting and drawing. If you are interested in learning more about me, check out my resume or send me at my email, dborges.ux@gmail.com.
