Hello there!
Nice to meet you! I’m Ann Wawrose, a sports and design enthusiast. I love understanding complex problems and creating simple solutions.
My Work
My Design Process
Understand the Problem
The first step in my design process is to understand the project goals. In this phase I will typically define business and design goals, do competitive analysis and speak with the engineering team to understand technical limitations.
Understand the User
At the same time, I want to understand who will be using what I am designing. This is my favorite part of the process because I always learn something interesting and unexpected.
Iterate and Refine
Once I have a handle on what I'm designing and who I'm designing it for, it's time to brainstorm ideas, get feedback and iteratively refine to come up with a solution.
My Story
My experiences give me a unique take on design problems. I started out as a computer science graduate, spent over 5 years in the user experience design and some time off to hone my coaching and instructional skills as a ski instructor and lacrosse coach. Throughout all these roles, I was determined to create inclusive experiences.
