## Luke Nielsen

Cofounder of Sarasoris with his wife, Abigail. Designer and developer in Colorado Springs.
Luke has worked with nonprofits and local Colorado Springs businesses on UX/UI design, web development and mobile apps, and cofounded [Sarasoris](https://sarasoris.com/about) with Abigail to build custom apps for organizations that have outgrown spreadsheets.

### Experience

- UX/UI design: research with the people who do the work, wireframes, interface design and testing
- Web apps in React and Next.js
- iPhone and Android apps in React Native
- The backend behind them

### At Sarasoris

Luke leads design and development at Sarasoris. Projects are contracted with Sarasoris LLC, and the company’s work is described on the [services](https://sarasoris.com/services) and [case studies](https://sarasoris.com/case-studies) pages.
Sarasoris builds one app, on phone and web, around the way a team already works: [scheduling and dispatch](https://sarasoris.com/services#people-and-schedules), [inventory](https://sarasoris.com/services#things-and-inventory) and [reporting](https://sarasoris.com/services#reporting-and-visibility). For nonprofits that often means [volunteer scheduling](https://sarasoris.com/volunteer-scheduling-app), [donated goods inventory](https://sarasoris.com/donated-goods-inventory) and [board reports](https://sarasoris.com/nonprofit-impact-reporting). For agencies it means [white-label design and development](https://sarasoris.com/agencies).

### What Luke cares about

- Starting with the people who do the work, before any screen is designed
- Designing the screens first and testing them with real staff, while problems are still cheap to fix
- One app that does a few things well, over a large system nobody uses
- Saying so when a product you can buy today would do the job better
- Plans, prices and progress written in plain English

### Recent work

Three Sarasoris projects for TogetherWON: a fitness app made for older adults, with user research, UI and UX design, testing and the frontend built from the approved designs; a product video made while the app was still being built, used to gather feedback; and a 250-page website built for search.
