Adam Kochanowicz

UX Designer and Full-Stack Developer

With cross-domain expertise in online product development, I make things look great and work even better.

I've been working in tech as a Lean UX Designer/Developer for 3+ years. I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Nebraska, speak French, and enjoy a good Scotch.

I employ lean agile methodology. With development teams, I use sketches, wireframes, and interactive prototypes coupled with user testing to iterate design concepts

Usability Testing

Using tools like Silverback, Camtasia, Amazon Mechanical Turk, task completion tests, and observational studies, I base product design decisions on actual data with real users.

Interaction Design

I use Illustrator, Photoshop, Cinema4D, Axure RP, Balsamiq, hand sketches, and real code to demonstrate my ideas in interactive prototypes and high-fidelity mock-ups.

Full-Stack Developer

I have advanced training in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery as well as preprocessors like Stylus, Jade, and LESS. I create modern HTML5 web applications with UI binding via Knockout.js and CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Foundation.

My preferred tools and languages are VIM+iTerm, Coda, SublimeText, CodeKit, Git, Jade, Stylus, and Node.JS

I am experienced with JavaScript/jQuery, HTML5, CSS3, LESS, Unix, Python/Django, MySQL, Bootstrap, SVN, PHP, and Require.js
