FT INTERFACE CONTROLLER
Controller Design RationaleThe controller layout is designed using a user-centered approach, prioritizing ease of use, comfort, and intuitive interaction within a 10-foot viewing environment where users interact from a distance rather than at arm’s length.
The controller supports effortless navigation by emphasizing:
Logical Button Placement — Frequently used controls such as directional navigation, selection, home, and back functions are positioned within the user’s natural thumb reach to minimize physical effort.The overall goal is to create an enjoyable and frustration-free experience, allowing users to navigate content comfortably without needing to look down frequently at the controller.

About
STORY
My name is La Tasha, and I am a User Researcher and User Experience (UX) Designer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I bring approximately 14 years of experience in graphic design and 3 years of experience in user experience design, combining visual communication expertise with research-driven design practices to create meaningful and user-centered experiences.
I earned an Associate Degree in Graphic Communication from the Community College of Allegheny County in 2015, a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from La Roche University in 2019, and a Master of Science in User Experience Design from Kent State University in May 2026.
In 2018, I worked as a Graphic Designer Contractor for The Door Campaign, a nonprofit organization. During my time there, I designed promotional materials for the Basil Blitz Event, which contributed to the organization's successful fundraising efforts and a $5,000 donation from UPMC. In 2020, I developed creative materials for a project with the Third Meal Organization in celebration of World Food Day.
Throughout my career, I have worked with nonprofit organizations and small businesses in roles including Designer, Print Assistant, and Lead Graphic Designer. My experience includes branding, print design, marketing collateral, event promotion, user research, and user experience design.
Most recently, I conducted discovery research for the E.L.S.G. project, an initiative focused on developing a mobile application that empowers consumers to better manage their finances and increase their savings. Through this work, I applied user research methodologies to identify user needs, uncover insights, and inform design decisions that support meaningful financial outcomes.
I am passionate about leveraging research, strategy, and design to create accessible, engaging, and impactful experiences that help organizations connect with their audiences and achieve their goals.
