Javier Ruiz has been a senior web publisher for Miami-Dade County since 2018, where he serves as the resident Swiss Army knife. A content strategist with experience in user research, information architecture, prototyping and accessible design, he’s working to build up the County’s UX and digital governance program.
Before joining Miami-Dade, Javier cut his teeth at both of South Florida’s daily newspapers, wrote content for the nation’s largest institute of high learning, Miami Dade College, and served as information architect for one of the country’s largest universities, Florida International University.
When not battling imposter syndrome and pathologically obsessing about Norman doors and other clunky experiences, he’s chasing his dog around the house or taking up an endless string of hobbies – much to the chagrin of his bank account.
