Hi! I'm Trevor

A UX designer exploring the ‘UX universe’ for the past 12 years

Guided by high-fidelity prototyping and a strong command over data visualization, I’ve navigated the UX galaxy, creating user-centered designs.

My expertise spans accessibility, responsive design, and design systems, applied across B2B, B2C, service as well as product spaces.

Along the way, I’ve earned patents, delivered conference talks, and published white papers to illuminate new paths in UX.

Patents

System and method for measuring user experience of information visualizations

The experience of information visualisations depend on multiple qualitative, quantitative, and contextual parameters which are often unmeasurable and incomparable. This patent relates to a system and method that collects, processes, and analyzes multiple parameters to profile the visualization. This is done by considering context by computing the chart complexity, benchmarking, summarizing parameters as hedonic and pragmatic scores, plotting on a scatter chart, and labeling based on scatter chart position.
