Senior UX/XR/3D Designer

Founder

I lead the design on a new hotel booking travel startup, HotelDirect. Technology plays a huge role in the evolution of this industry. There are many aspects you need to consider to get ahead of the big players (Expedia and Booking.com) in the market. As the company grew and our user-base scaled, it was important to have a design process that allows for a user-centered approach. I've worked closely with development, business, and marking and set product direction based on stakeholder and user feedback. Unfortunately, HotelDirect was one of many companies that were affected by COVID-19.
