Hello, welcome to Odd Voxel!

My name is Kristina Foster and this is the home of my UX practice. I'm a UX Designer and Researcher who is passionate about building empathy towards people and understanding their problem spaces. My goal is to advocate for the user, create engaging and effective solutions for those spaces, while balancing business and technical requirements.

Specialties include user research, interaction design, user testing, and illustration.

User Research

I utilize exploratory methods–such as user and stakeholder interviews, card sorting sessions, user journey mapping sessions, empathy mapping sessions, and assumption personas–to discover and define user requirements. I create documentation to report and socialize those findings with other contributors and stakeholders.

Interaction Design

I build task models, user journey maps, information architecture diagrams, interaction models, low-fidelity and high fidelity prototypes, and other documentation based on the discover phase. I socialize that documentation with other contributors and stakeholders to communicate UI requirements.

User Testing

I collaborate with stakeholders to identify risky assumptions, and regularly validate those assumptions through usability tests with relevant participants and usability metrics. I track metrics for the system starting with a baseline, monitor those metrics, and make suggestions based on observable data trends.

Illustration

I create visual assets that demonstrate technical aptitude, distinctive flair, and translate the stakeholder's vision into an effective communication tool.
