Thanks for stopping by. I'm Heather Curtin and I am currently working as a contract UX Designer in enterprise SAAS in the Seattle area. I'm looking for new opportunities!

​

As an analytical designer, I create thoughtful solutions by synthesizing research, user needs, and existing products without sacrificing business ideals. My background in new product development means I understand the entire process of bringing a product to market. I have a pragmatic and confident approach that reliably brings products to life and an exacting eye for detail and consistency.
