Hi there. My name is Dash and I solve business problems with design.
Well, actually, my name isn’t Dash. It’s Dashiel – but after gathering a life-long dataset of user feedback from an A/B test via the “introduce myself” task scenario, I’ve gained the summative insight that, in terms of satisfaction, effectiveness and efficiency (particularly the latter), it was necessary that Dashiel iterated into Dash.
Although I might sometimes refer to myself as a tennis burnout, table tennis coach for the Chicago Bulls, or aspiring entrepreneur always talking about a potential startup idea, more often than not I identify as a User Experience Designer, deeply analyzing the world around me and designing solutions to problems that I uncover.
Taking the world as is, at face-value, is a form of acceptance that I choose to pass on. My natural inclination is to always seek to learn more and better understand how and why things work. The journey of reaching that fleeting moment of understanding (truth isn’t static) is something that I quite enjoy and designing solutions that reflect new insights is something I love.
