SEEKING WORK | Remote | Based in Maryland, USA
I’m David, a remote UX consultant.  UMD computer science graduate (2006), former Java and C# developer, switched to UX in 2012.  Since 2016, I’ve focused specifically on helping developers with UX design and wrote an ebook on this.
Most of my projects lately have involved helping startup founders acquire and retain more users.  My work also overlaps partially with UI design and product management.  If your business or organization has experienced initial success and is looking to get to the next level through UX design, that’s a great type of project to give me.
Some past/current projects:
- Helped a large consumer goods company achieve 20% YoY growth in monthly active users for an intranet application that helps them run their whole business.
- UX lead for the DC Trails Hop On Hop Off Tours app for Washington, DC, bus tourists.  In both major app stores; thousands of downloads.
- Designed a Q&amp;A/polling site (on par with Quora in complexity) from the ground up, including v1/v2+ features and user community.  Currently in development.
- Redesigned the product pages, purchasing path, and onboarding for a fairly major pet subscription box site.  Currently in development.
- Redesigned the onboarding and transaction flows for a mobile payments app with thousands of users.  The new flows require 2/3 less effort to complete while also accounting properly for user goals.  Currently in development.
- Another one of my startup clients is well on their way to increasing their user base by at least 10x, partially as a result of working with me on both UX and UI design.

I’m looking for UX projects to work on while I travel around the world in June through at least July, and I will maintain partial overlap with US time zones.  I am open to travel after I get back, but not relocation.
