UX design & research — Colorado Springs

Tell me what you're
actually trying to solve.

I'm Naomi. I ask until the real problem surfaces, test more than one answer, and ship with the people building it — not around them.

Ask

Open-ended interviews that dig past the stated problem to the one underneath it.

Test

More than one answer, tried — not one polished guess defended after the fact.

Ship

Working prototypes close enough to real logic that dev and design move at once.

Family services · Fee logic

Late Fee Rule Builder

“I'm not trying to build up debt. I'm trying to help them catch a break.”

The ask was a collections tool. What testing surfaced was that directors cared more about protecting families than collecting on time — so that's what got built instead.

Same method. No client ceiling.

Passion projects, built and tested the same way — Ask, Test, Ship — just without a brief telling me where to stop. These are live. Try them.

Five years in-house taught me that most "requirements" are a translation problem — someone has already done the thinking, it just hasn't found its way into a brief yet. My job is to sit with people until it does.

Before UX, I worked in early childhood education — customer support for the software, and childcare itself. That's where the listening-first habit actually started. Now it's the whole practice.

Let's talk about what you're actually trying to solve.
