Hello! I'm Neil.

About Me

I've dedicated the last 9 years of my career working as a Frontend Developer, UX Designer, mentor, and constant learner. My most rewarding opportunity has been the last 3 years as the Lead UX Designer on the Visualization team at the University of Nebraska Medical Center - iEXCEL.

The iEXCEL team is a highly skilled and multidisciplinary group with expertise in medical anatomy, 3D animation and design, as well as advanced 3D programming and web design. Our creative team collaborates closely with faculty, who are medical subject matter experts, to ensure that the content is accurate and provides an optimal user experience across multiple platforms.

Working with the Global Center for Health Security, College of Orthopedics, College of Nursing, and the College of Physical therapy directly with Physicians and Subject Matter Experts to create new AR/VR, Mobile, and Desktop applications for students and patients on a global scale.

My primary passion and expertise lie in the Healthcare and Medical Device industries. Having immersed myself in the intricacies of designing user experiences for medical applications, I understand the critical nature of the Healthcare sector. It not only demands intuitive interfaces but also requires a profound comprehension of user needs, regulatory requirements, and the complete user journey.

UX Workshops

Effective communication and partnership with the client to comprehend their goals and identify user requirements is crucial for the success of a product. We actively engage with users, empathize with their needs, and consider the business objectives. By conducting UI/UX evaluations, user interviews, and product definition workshops, we can accurately define the scope and suggest the most suitable solutions to align with the company's vision.

User research is a vital aspect of UX design that helps to understand the needs, behaviors, and preferences of the target audience. This information is then used to inform the design decisions and improve the overall user experience. User research methods such as usability testing, surveys, and interviews provide valuable insights into how users interact with a product and their pain points. By conducting user research, we can identify any issues and opportunities for improvement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance the usability and satisfaction of the product.
