The Art of Timothy Dempsey

I have helped firms of all sizes clarify branding and user experience in order to increase conversion rates. This includes heuristic UX assessments in the pharma industry as a consultant, to wireframes for new sites - and everything in-between.

Case Study 1: Wireframe for Rosé Product Launch

Using Sketch on Mac, I quickly produced a wireframe with the support of the Brand Ambassador and Creative Director. This site needed to be fast-tracked to be live in time for anticipation of broadcast TV media campaigns.

Case Study 2: Optimize for Mobile-First Sales

The sample below is my solution for a large wine & spirits marketing firm. Brand Marketing needed to refine the product page using mobile-first, sales-optimized layout.

Key recommendations were to eliminate all decorative background photos, eliminate the thumbscroller (which was a mobile design pattern incorrectly executed on desktop by a former outsourced developer) and to prioritize the locator pin to prominence for reaching the store locator with the fewest taps/clicks.

Case Study 3: Retail Locator

The same firm's Prosecco brand had a long dormant brochure website which was lacking a core functionality. I wireframed a solution to help consumers find the adult beverage in their territory.

The final deliverable included PHP interacting with a MySQL database. Naturally this solution needed to be "mobile first" since the research into our analytics proved most site visits were from smartphones.

Case Study 4: Automotive Warranty Legacy App Modernization

A NJ firm was modernizing a legacy Java app for the extended automotive warranty field. I was recruited to bring the look and feel to a more contemporary user-friendly experience. My deliverable was heavily influenced by Google's Material UI, which was ultimately my recommendation.
