Hi, I'm Tyler Murphy.

I'm a UI/UX Designer with experience designing software and web apps with a user-centered approach to meet their needs.

I love what I do. My job is about helping people. User experience to me is making software easier to use so people can do what they need to do and get back to their lives.

Currently I work at Retail Success in the Kansas City metro, designing mobile and web apps that help small retailers run their day to day operations better.

Below is some of the work i’ve done to help others. I’d love to talk with you about how I can work with you to do some more awesome things.

My Work

Just a few of the projects that i've had the pleasure of working on.

Perceptive Experience

At Perceptive Software (Lexmark) I got to work on a team that revolutionized the way the company moved forward with enterprise content managment software. Instead of countless one-off native apps, we pushed for a consitent web driven platform, that provided a responsive experience, and created a rich set of UI controls and components that could be used to create targeted persona driven apps within an enterprise ecosystem instead of boring and bloated enterprise software.

My contributions:

  • User Research
  • Ideating on persona driven app templates
  • Overall Visual Design
  • CSS and HTML code for platform components

151 Church Directory App

My church needed an online directory so members could have access to other member’s contact information on the go. My solution was to develop a responsive Ruby on Rails web application that provided church members with member information, kept that information secure and created a clean easy interface to manage that data.

KWIK KAR

Kwik Kar needed a new online presence that combined several chain location websites into one main website with a CMS backend that was easy for a non-web developer to use. I incorporated branding elements from their marketing materials to create a site that ties together marketing efforts and branding for these Kwik Kar locations.

Mat Monster

At Ringside Boxing I designed and developed e-Commerce websites for MatMonster.com, MAAuthority.com and ContenderFightSports.com. The websites were built on the Magento platform. I was responsible for the branding, site design and front-end development.

Jefferson City Outdoors

The Jefferson City Convention and Visitor's Bureau wanted a website that would share all of the outdoor activities that residents could participate in. I designed the theme for this website and built it on wordpress for ease of updating by the client.

About Me

My personal life is all about spending time with my wife and our kids. In the warmer months you can catch us regularly feeding chickens and goats at the local farmstead or learning about gardening in our backyard with insanely fertile soil and tomato plants that just won't stop growing.

I also geek out on super-hero stuff and star wars. I collect Green Lantern comic books, enjoy a good bike ride, and read "Good Night Darth Vader" to my son practically every night.

Thanks for stopping by!
