Oh, hello there! My name is Shy Lev-Ari, and I'm a UX designer. I believe that UX (User Experience) design has the power to enhance everything around us, and one would only notice it if it's done badly (or not at all). I strive to create intuitive and meaningful solutions that truly resonate with users/players.
Brief history
Born and raised in Israel, finished a 4-year degree in the Education of Graphic Design in 2012, met my would-be-wife Annie in 2015, got married to my current-wife Annie in 2017, bought a house in Denver (CO) in 2018, became Jacob’s dad in 2020, and became Iggy's dad in 2023.
Principles, skills, and stuff
Having worked in the field of front-end product design for many years now, I have honed my skills in user research, wireframing, prototyping, and user testing. I am well-versed in industry-standard design tools and stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in the UX world.
Collaboration is at the core of my design philosophy. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams, where diverse perspectives can be brought together to create innovative and inclusive solutions. I value open communication, actively listening to stakeholders, and iterating based on feedback to deliver the best possible outcomes. Comunication, comunication, comunication.
In a team environment, I am known to raise all boats, encourage a growth mentality, and "teach people how to fish" (as opposed to simply fixing their problems and then POOF going away).
In addition to my technical expertise, I am a lifelong learner and continuously seek opportunities to expand my skill set. Whether it's attending industry conferences, participating in design challenges, or staying connected with the UX community, I am dedicated to growing both personally and professionally.
When I'm not immersed in the world of design, you can find me playing solo board games, indulging in a good TV show, or just being a dad and loving every minute of it!
Onwards!
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate on meaningful projects and make a positive impact on users' lives. Feel free to reach out to me through LinkedIn or the Contact form in this portfolio to discuss how we can create exceptional user experiences - together!
