Do you need help
I’m Darrin — a Los Angeles-based product designer and UX strategist with a BSDES from DAAP that is passionate about creating seamless experiences that delight users and drive results. I strive to bring inclusive and socially-responsible design principles into all that I do while fostering the personal and professional growth of both myself and my team.
People are always the priority. I seek a deeper understanding of a product’s intent and its user’s needs to strategize the bigger picture and develop full product experiences — feature definition, user stories, wireframes, mock-ups, final UI designs — that delight the end user while aligning with business rules and KPIs.
A pretty face will only get you so far. I create seamless interfaces and flexible design systems from adaptable components that are efficient for development and allow products to scale. My strong attention to detail keeps elements consistent and familiar, guiding the user and preventing unexpected outcomes.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. I collaborate and build relationships with my product, engineering, and business team stakeholders to establish a clear understanding of project goals, timeline, and contingencies. By setting appropriate expectations and delegating tasks effectively, I ensure deadlines are consistently met.
