CLARK HAALAND
UX Designer
Minneapolis based passionate prototyper and process geek, currently designing thoughtful solutions at Westwood Professional Services to help facilitate efficient interactions for people using our internal systems.
We might not be making the sexiest or flashiest applications but we’re impacting the lives of our engineers and surveyors with well-designed applications that save time, simplify complex processes and reduce costs.
I’ve always been a fan of optimized flows/processes – whether in software or the grocery store or parking ramp, whatever. I’m just always thinking, ‘this could better’ or in some instances, ‘this is really nicely thought out’.
I’ve spent the last 15 plus years in software moving between the roles of Business Analyst, Product Manager, Project Manager and other non-development positions. Throughout this time I was always asking the dev team, can we make this better for the customer? That’s why I’ve been making the deep dive into UX.
Thanks for stopping by. Hang tight while I polish up my work and compile some UX case studies, but in the meantime check out my IG UX blog – I’m @ux.clark.
