A little about me… I have a beard, a wife, three kids, a knack for making good things look great, and a passion to make a difference in people’s lives through my design.
As a UX designer with a visual design background, I love to find user-centric solutions to complex problems. I have a highly empathetic approach to design and am a relentless advocate for user needs.
I worked with a fintech startup that had a goal to help first time home buyers achieve financial fitness and get closer to buying a home. I designed a tool that helps them understand how their financial situation stacked up against current mortgage guidelines and gave insight on what next steps could be taken.
As a part of this project, I pitched various UX Design solutions and worked on the UX Research, including the documentation and presentation of findings.
I was asked to create a platform that could be used to help student athletes in their mentorship journey. This project focused not only on the content delivery but establishing a way to track a student athlete's progress.
I was the lead UX Designer on this project and served at Product Owner for many parts. I also did all of the visual design for the final product.
Cru is a global outreach organization that focuses primarily on college students in the area of spiritual development. Each summer, they train and equip college students to travel abroad for various outreach opportunities.
In 2016, the organization moved from calling these opportunities “Summer Projects,” a name that had been used for several decades, to “Summer Missions.” I was asked to be a part of a team to develop new branding for the name change.
The current U.S. Department of Energy website has a lot of helpful information for homeowners and renters on conserving energy. Unfortunately, it has several usability flaws that prevent it from reaching its goals.
I redesigned the site with a focus on navigation UI and visual design to solve some of these challenges and make it more user-friendly. (Student Project)
Traveling with kids can be rough. So much so that many parents would rather just stay home. I took on the task of creating a travel app for parents to see if I could create a more delightful booking experience.
For this project, I went through the complete design process from conducting research and ended with a hi-fi prototype. (Student Project)
