Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/elizabethklingen

I help organizations draw insights to get a more complete view of their users/customers, and ultimately make informed decisions. Part of my role is to always be taking myself out of my comfort zone of what I know, and putting myself into the mindset of others and what they are feeling, what they want, and how they are behaving during an interaction.

Things I really enjoy doing include:
+Research in the field; observing, interviewing, and listening to users
+Collaborating with other researchers, designers, and stakeholders to create designs that are considered from a variety of perspectives so that they are as inclusive and as diverse as possible
+Working closely with product managers and engineers to make fast iterations and to test prototypes 

My skills: wireframing, storyboarding, sketching, creating mockups and prototypes, user research, ethnographic research, user testing, illustration, branding, content strategy

My tools: Pen and paper, Balsamiq, Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, Aftereffects, Invision, Principle, Framer, Figma, HTML5 & CSS3 as well as opensource frameworks like bootstrap, basic javascript
