Portfolio & Case Studies | Cathi Bosco UX Architect & Designer

Cathi Bosco: UX Research & Product Design Leader

As a designer focused on digital development and business innovation, I specialize in both strategic and tactical UX. I thrive on complex, cutting-edge digital projects and excel at supporting innovators, stakeholders, and development teams. I deliver efficient UX solutions for diverse scenarios across enterprise-scale projects, agencies, teams, and start-ups.

The following Case Studies are organized by project. No two projects are ever the same and depending on the project requirements we may be leveraging different UX tactics and strategies.

Working with UX tactics, we facilitate real understanding and coordination by unlocking useful insights for teams and stakeholders.

Some UX tactics may include interviews, user research, personas, scenarios, card sorting, micro sprints, journey mapping, alignment diagrams, onboarding analysis/mapping, usability testing, competitor analysis, envisioning, qualitative metrics analysis, sketching, prototyping, storyboarding, information architecture, macro and micro animations, critique, facilitation of design walkthroughs, visual design, content strategy, customer journey maps, and my favorite, facilitating the integrating larger business goals with user needs and goals.

Great companies cultivate Design Maturity for project teams in collaborative environments.
