Hi, I’m Ryan Murray!
I am a UX/UI Designer, who creates Human Centered Designs for both Web Design and Mobile Applications through the use of Figma. I pride myself on creating engaging, impactful and thoughtful designs that are both usable and accessible to all audiences. Interested in hearing more, view my case studies and reach out!
Principles that Define my work:
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
These guidelines help ensure that web content is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
User Centered Design
User-centered design focuses on understanding and addressing the needs and preferences of the users throughout the design process.
Usability
Usability refers to how easy and enjoyable a website or app is to use. It involves designing interfaces that are simple, efficient, and provide a good user experience.
Responsive Design
Responsive design ensures that a website or app works well on a variety of devices and screen sizes, from smartphones to large desktop monitors.
Gestalt Principles
Gestalt principles are about how people perceive and organize visual information.
Visual Hierarchy
Visual hierarchy is about organizing elements on a page so that users naturally notice the most important information first.
Quote from past mentor:
“ I had a chance to mentor Ryan during his final stage of the Designlab Academy Course. I am constantly in awe of Ryan’s grit and determination, as well as his ability to positively deal with challenging experiences, especially when it comes to learning a new field and needing to quickly grasp new concepts. His extensive background in graphic design and experience with freelance projects give him a significant advantage in the world of UX, where he is gracefully applying himself through user empathy and care for accessible and inclusive design. He is hardworking and driven, and can accomplish anything he sets his mind to - he gets it done! Ryan would be a great addition to any design team!”
