Connie Cheung
@conniecheung
Product designer creating user-centered digital experiences at Ritchie Bros. and through freelance projects.
What I'm looking for
At Ritchie Bros., I used user behavior research to help introduce new features to a bidding website that processed over $6.0 billion in transactions in 2023. I also studied technology adoption through screen recordings, interviews, and surveys to identify user pain points and opportunities for improvement.
As a freelance UX/UI Designer, I worked on a mobile application for volleyball teams and website designs for Pam Patterson Psychotherapy and Eleanor Jayne Makeup and Artistry. My work includes user research, wireframing, prototyping, user flows, and information architecture.
I also designed and produced the merchandise and branding for Good Berry Designs, refining designs through user research. With a background in anthropology and UX/UI design, I'm seeking a team where I can contribute to user-centered designs and satisfying product experiences.
