Meet Gabe Hendry
A self-starting, strategic, driven, and detail oriented leader who directs and empowers teams to collaboratively create testable, flexible, and effective user-centric interfaces and experiences.
My professional experience encompasses both leading and doing throughout the entire software development life-cycle: strategic prioritizing and planning, team leadership, information architecture, UX, creative design and direction, development, QA and deployment.
Dynamic communication skills and active listening skills allow me to understand, translate and present both problems and solutions to cross-disciplined teams and audiences.
USER EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHIES
UX as a discipline has evolved greatly over the last 15 years. Here are some things I have learned working on and leading teams using many different processes and methodologies.
UX & AGILE ARE FRIENDS
Development and product teams don't have to struggle to integrate UX into Agile
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
The best experiences are created in collaboration with short test & iterate cycles
UX REALLY CAN BE LEAN
Efficiency and effectiveness will often increase with a "Just enough, just on time" approach
