Résumé of Erick Clark

I'm a self-motivated UX and Product Designer and have worked for a mix of companies including design agencies, large corporations and startups. I specialize in designing easy to use products for complex domains. I have a lot of experience creating technical workflows that are user friendly for non-technical users as well as designing complex products for technical users. I'm a champion of the user, placing a strong emphasis on understanding the requirements and pain points of the people I'm designing for. I also value collaboration and am adept at working with product managers, software engineers and other designers.
