Recent Projects
Product and UX Design
My recent work focuses on building thoughtful, user-centered solutions that balance strong design with solid technical execution. Across these projects, I’ve worked end-to-end—from early concept and research to implementation and refinement.
restech
Web Based Application
As the product lead and designer, I collaborated closely with our Product Manager and Development team to establish a product roadmap for our Web-Based CCAAS software application. Utilizing Figma, we prototyped each feature and rigorously tested the UX/UI to ensure optimal performance and usability.
infocus
Mobile Application
Infocu5 recognized the need to extend its existing web application to mobile users. As the lead UX/UI designer, I was responsible for creating the mobile app and collaborated closely with developers to gather and prioritize all necessary data points. Given the size of the application, we decided not to include all features in the first iteration.
betterworld
UX Design
BetterWorld.org needed a new UX for their donation feature. I was tasked with creating two versions: one that redesigned the existing framework with additional features, and the other that offers a completely fresh flow with the same new additions. The additional features included a “save for later” function, the ability to add and remove multiple items, and a suggested items function.
Recent Projects
Web Design
I create thoughtful, high-impact work that blends creativity with strategy. With a mobile-first approach, I design clear, user-centered solutions that are visually compelling, responsive across devices, and built to deliver meaningful, lasting results.
restech web
Responsive Website
ResTech required a website to support the sales and marketing team in promoting the CCASS product. As a team, we thoroughly storyboarded and prototyped the site before moving on to the final build. We chose WordPress as our content management system (CMS) to facilitate easy collaboration and accessibility within the team.
doubleshaka
Sales and Marketing Website
Double Shaka is built on the Shopify platform, allowing users to purchase clothing while receiving free entries into a surfboard giveaway. I was responsible for creating all graphics, layout, and the overall flow. I was given a style guide to follow in order to storyboarded and prototyped the site before moving on to the final build.
sacredsurfhawaii
Sales and Marketing Website
Sacred Surf Hawaii creates beautiful handmade unisex trucker hats. They needed a responsive site that was able to handle sales through WooCommerce. I collaborated with the founder of the company to storyboarded and prototyped the site to iron out any issues before the final build. We chose WordPress as our content management system (CMS).
