About Rus Anderson

I’m a Product UI/UX designer experienced in helping create web and native mobile apps in multiple industries including eCommerce, agriculture, finance, logistics, travel & tourism, healthcare, automotive, education, energy and more. I’ve leveraged user research, heuristic evaluations and data analysis, designed user-flows, mockups and interactive prototypes to create new and improve existing products.

I’ve collaborated with multiple teams including development, marketing and other stakeholders to align design with business strategy. I’ve directed developers and Jr. designers on best use for implementing designs for end products. And I’ve developed a process that I’ve found very effective in launching products quickly and efficiently.
