ABOUT JUSTIN PENNEY

Four years of experience producing UI/UX design at small businesses with direct contact with owner / proprietors. 2 years of experience in an Agile framework for mid-level Saas. I\'ve led design initiatives from branding, SEO, SEM, digital presence, social media, and web design. Experience in complex B2B Saas excel at workflow optimization, creating design systems, and synthesizing project requirements to design intuitive and delightful interfaces that align with my employer\'s vision. Each step in my working life has led me towards human-centered design. While at my first job as an opto-mechanical technician, I learned 3-D CAD design and how to work within strict constraints. In my next position as a classroom teacher, I learned how to convey complex ideas in a simple way, to any audience. Working in healthcare, I learned empathy and problem solving for users in complex systems. Working at a small research university, I learned to inspire my team, and to think outside the box. Now, in my work at an SAAS B2B software platform, I put these skills to work in improving enterprise software. Design before you develop. Research before you design. Designed an innovative AI-assisted social media platform for mobile. Executed SEO / SEM resulting in 98.2% year over year Organic Search leads for clients in fitness and entertainment sectors. Proposed and got approval for market research projects, team staffing, and ad spend over 30K, which led to 100% year-over-year increase in target student enrollment for higher education institution. Supervised 5 student direct report employees to perform research on online learning platforms, and helped foster a collaborative environment. Design, Languages, Travel, Learning, Music, Teaching, and Pushing my comfort zone. https://justincpenney.com/ 🤝?
