About Chris Purdie
Through my career I\'ve contributed to and led teams of designers to create new products and optimize existing products. I maintain an entrepreneurial spirit in the way I approach any project. I enjoy working in environments where I can learn and add value through strategic, big vision thinking and tactical, on the ground solutioning. I appreciate and nurture collaborative interactions inside design teams as well as in cross-functional teams. I champion UX best practices and I\'m passionate about human centered design, usability, and accessibility.I am currently a Senior UX Designer, leading research and design activities for Sorenson Communication\'s enterprise portfolio of products. I am responsible for establishing both strategic processes and tactical day to day discovery and design activities to help maximize communication accessibility for Deaf, hard-of-hearing, hearing, and multi-lingual communities. At Sorenson, I design browser based web and native mobile apps to meet WCAG accessibility standards.
