About Me
Hello…I’m a fun loving and outgoing person who loves life. I enjoy spending time with friends and family. If I’m not at work, out with friends, on the Golf Course or driving range [7 – Handicap], or with the family…then I’m out trying a new craft beer & restaurant with my girlfriend.
Professionally, I’m a User Experience Consultant at Improving (IT Consultant Company) for over the last 5 years. I have worked for several clients on a wide range of projects. I have worked in the Financial, Oil & Gas, Medical, Hospitality, Insurance, Telecom, and Entertainment fields. As a consultant, I am a capable User Researcher, Information Architect, and Designer including UI, Visual and Front End. I have a willingness to keep up to date with software applications and new techniques in a rapidly changing profession.

What my clients say
Vaughn came in and kicked #%!@ . We had a short window to work in, and he hit the ground running. Discovered not only a better design for us, but fixed the current functionality to work better in the new design.
Vaughn's a super hero! He came onto our project for only 2 weeks and totally fixed the design and gave great input on the work flow. Kudos!
