Hi, my name is Demetrius. I'm a UX designer that likes to craft clean & user‑friendly experiences. Currently, I work as a Senior UX Designer for Applied Research Associates, Inc. as part of a dynamic and exceptional team of professionals. I specialize in UX design, UI design, front-end development, progressive web app design, responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, and motion graphics.

I enjoy creating solutions for slick user experiences with a modern look and feel. Those solutions sometimes include user-research to understand the end-users needs, user flows, and prototyping interactive layouts. I excel in collaborative environments, whether I am leading or following.

What is a UX Designer?

A UX (User Experience) designer is all about making digital products like apps and websites that are not only easy to use but also helpful and fun. They really focus on the whole experience, not just what looks good. They dig into what users need, figure out how they'll use the product, sketch out ideas, and test different solutions to help users solve their problems and achieve their business goals. Basically, they're on the user's side, making sure everything is easy to understand, works well, and feels great.

UX designers use a variety of hard skills that include, but are not limited to, information architecture, wireframing & prototyping, usability, and team collaboration to achieve a positive user experience for the end user.

My Home Office Setup

During the pandemic I started working from home more, so I decided to upgrade my personal work area for better productivity.

I suppose you don't really realize how important it is to have a work-focused personal workspace at home until you need one. Once the pandemic hit I got a few things to make working from home a more productive experience starting with a better desk and a few other useful items. Over time I was able to simplify my setup to just the essentials. Below are photos of my current setup.

Desk Setup Equipment List

Apple Sutdio Display
FlipAction Elite 16" Display (Vertical Orientation)
Apple Mac Mini M4
Apple Airpods Max
Apple Magic Keyboard
Apple Magic Mouse
UltraHD Height Adjustable Work Bench 72" x 25"

My Every Day Carry (EDC)

Having the ability to be productive on the go is important in my field, so I often carry my work tools with me.

My everyday carry includes my most important tools that allow me to stay productive while on the go. I like being prepared, so it's crucial for me to bring the tools that will help me succeed in my daily endeavors. I also enjoy consuming media (reading, movies and gaming) like most people, so sometimes I can use these same tools to kick back and relax. Most, if not all, of the items listed below can be found on amazon.com or various retailers.
