In custom software, design is a crucial element in creating a great user experience. In fact, sometimes it’s one of the main reasons someone chooses to build custom vs. buy a product off the shelf.
LaunchPad Lab’s design team is small but mighty. They’re involved in projects from the very beginning and play a key role in user research, defining the user’s journey in the application, and many other things such as coding the user interface.
This month, we wanted to shine a light on Analisa Bernardi, one of the three UX/UI designers at LaunchPad Lab. Analisa has been a crucial member of the team since 2018 and in addition to providing design support for many successful projects, she has also does a phenomenal job taking care of her office desk pet cactus “Clyde.”
Analisa has always loved art, and her passion for human interaction and thought processes made UI/UX design a clear coupling. She has worked with an array of industries and finds value in fully understanding company needs to directly reflect their values in design.
She has been a part of several successful products in her time here, including our work for Prepmedians, SimplyMerit, and New York Cruise Lines.
Outside of work, she enjoys binge-watching TV shows and traveling as frequently as possible.
“It’s always exciting to see the creative design solutions Analisa comes up with! And of course, it’s nice having a fellow Illini around to reminisce with.”
– Monique Marchwiany, Head of Design at LaunchPad Lab.
