Different challenges. One through line:
make the experience feel natural.
PRODUCT STRATEGY · RESEARCH · UX/UI
Turning participant feedback into a clearer path forward.
THE DESIGN CHALLENGE
Research only helps when teams can put it to work. This platform brings study planning, participant feedback, and findings into a connected workflow.
MY FOCUS
Product strategy, information architecture, interface design, and development — with a focus on making the next step clear.
EXPERIENCE DESIGN · RESPONSIVE UI
Making complex forecasts feel useful in a single glance.
THE DESIGN CHALLENGE
Forecasts contain far more information than most people need at once. The challenge is helping someone understand their day without decoding a dashboard.
MY FOCUS
Readable hierarchies, responsive interfaces, and clear paths from the immediate forecast to the details that matter.
PRODUCT DIRECTION · CROSS-DEVICE UX
A personal workspace that keeps files and ideas close.
THE DESIGN CHALLENGE
Personal work spreads across files, notes, conversations, and devices. FileEcho brings those pieces into a private, local-first workspace.
MY FOCUS
Product direction, cross-device interaction, and development — keeping personal context accessible without making the workspace feel complicated.
CONVERSATION DESIGN · VOICE EXPERIENCE
Everyday support, designed around a natural conversation.
THE DESIGN CHALLENGE
An assistant should reduce effort. This product explores everyday questions, planning, and voice interaction through a conversational interface.
MY FOCUS
Conversation design, voice experience, and app development — giving people clear feedback and an easy way to keep the conversation moving.
02 / THE APPROACH
I connect the human problem to the product opportunity, then stay hands-on until the details work.
Understand the people, the context, and the problem worth solving.
Turn research into a clear direction. Challenge assumptions early.
Prototype, design, and build. Put something real in people’s hands.
Test the experience, refine the details, and make the next version better.
HOW I CAN HELP
Bring an idea, a challenge, or a product ready for its next chapter.
User and stakeholder research, product definition, journey mapping, and prototype testing to guide what comes next.
Intuitive flows, accessible interfaces, and thoughtful design systems for websites and apps.
Responsive websites and mobile apps, with design intent carried all the way through implementation.
Focused usability and accessibility reviews, with clear recommendations for what to improve first.
03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
I’m Jeff, the designer behind Truax Creative. I bring research, product thinking, and hands-on craft together to make digital experiences feel less complicated and more considered.
New tools expand what’s possible. Empathy, curiosity, and good judgment give the work direction. I use AI-assisted workflows where they help, and stay personally responsible for every design decision.
