Some people I’ve worked with

Some Examples

Hemster: Transforming the D2C User Journey

Taking the garment fitting experience from a 1:1 zoom call to an easy, 3-step process that our customers can complete on their own.

  • Eliminating user error in entering hemming fit data.

  • Instead of entering a decimal into a text field, what if we have users drag a marker on a digital ruler to match it to what’s in their hand?

  • Fail rate based on numbers entered wrong went down by over 50% after this new design was implemented.

LOC Coin: FinTech Startup Merchant App

Working alongside South African FinTech Founder Tshibangu Kalambaie’s vision for a new kind of rewards points sharing system. Strategized and designed the first wireframes and mockups for the merchant side of the app.

Olmsted Parks Conservancy: Website and Map Tool

Took existing Sitemap & Navigation and designed wireframes and map tool functionalities based on user research conducted by Radish Lab.

Google Ventures Sprint

Just a fun exercise in analyzing research to bring a user’s dreams to life in under a week. A look at how I think and work under quick timelines, and a fun app to imagine using if you’re an art nerd! ;)
