My name is Grant Petchauer! I’m a UX designer and researcher living in Folsom, California. I’m a former lawyer who left the law to pursue a creatively fulfilling career in design. I use my skills in research, advocacy, problem solving, and communication to center humans in my design process and create effective and usable products.
I have 3 years of agency design experience working on customer facing eb products, SaaS products, microwebsites, and internally facing web experiences.
When I’m not working, I like to paint, skateboard, and build computers. I consider myself a technologist, and enjoy hobbies that challenge me and push me outside my comfort zone.
Skills:
Research
Client/User Advocacy
Human Centered Thinking
Communication
Empathy Based Problem Solving
Design Principles:
I supplement my human-centered design thinking with robust research to give rich context to the user’s experience. I place the human experience at the center of my design philosophy by ensuring that quantitative data and user’s qualitative experiences inform and guide my design at all stages.
