Profile: https://flows.cv/jareddevine

With over six years of experience as a UX Designer at IBM, I am passionate about building bridges between design and development to deliver intuitive and impactful user experiences for IBM clients. As an Enterprise Design Thinking Practitioner, I apply a human-centered approach to problem-solving and innovation, collaborating with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to create user-friendly solutions that align with business goals and user needs.

My background in front-end development and user-centered design enables me to effectively connect the dots and bring valuable contributions to the team. I am proficient in Figma, HTML, CSS, Javascript, React, Github, and the Adobe Suite, and I continuously seek out opportunities to educate and inspire my colleagues, striving to elevate both individual and team performance. I have worked with a range of clients, including Levi's, Hudson's Bay, Guinness, Grand & Toy, and LCBO, in various digital agencies in Toronto, where I led project lifecycles from conceptualization to launch, devised efficient strategies, and ensured quality standards.
