Make room for evidence.
Start with what people need, what they do today, and what is still uncertain. Use research to challenge the framing.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Curiosity sets the direction.
Craft brings it into focus.
I’m De’Andre Perry, a UX Designer working across visual design, user research, accessibility, and design systems. Front-end prototyping helps me explore behavior beyond static screens and communicate design decisions with engineering. My project work has included contributions from other designers and developers, alongside my own work on product direction, interaction design, and accessibility.
MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Understand the people. Question the assumptions. Make the complex feel clear, all the way down to the details.
HOW I APPROACH THE WORK
From an open question
to a considered answer.
I see research, interaction, and visual design as connected parts of the same problem.
Think beyond the screen.
Consider the whole task: context, content, constraints, edge cases, and the moments before and after an interaction.
Care about the finish.
Make hierarchy, behavior, accessibility, and visual detail work together. A good idea needs thoughtful execution.
