Résumé

Initially brought in to help lead and train front-end design, client growth quickly shifted my role back to production. This included designing user flows and wireframes, prototyping interfaces and interactions, and developing the final production implementation for mid-scale ecommerce clients.

Responsible for designing interfaces and interactions, rapid prototyping, and production code for custom hardware devices and web applications. Focused primarily on the management software behind the category's flagship HaaS offering which was experiencing inconsistencies and design regressions. Created a more streamlined front-end of the application to iterate ahead on and refactored the production CSS entirely to follow a design system. Mentored developers on design and front-end, led pairing and code reviews, participated in stakeholder demos, and helped articulate workflow weaknesses to non-technical leadership and directors.

Brought on to bridge and optimize the design-to-engineering workflow and translate various fidelities of design documents to code. Also helped creatives explore possibilities through modern web technologies and brought engineers up-to-speed on how/when to use them. Primary client was Rejuvenation (Williams-Sonoma) where I was responsible for the design implementation of feature updates as well as most of the heavy lifting for their first fully-responsive site using a highly customizable flexbox grid system I created for product configurators and PDPs.

Invested in an indoor skate park and retail space with some friends where I was responsible for digital branding, UI/UX, and design engineering for the user-facing website; UI/UX and design engineering for an online event registration system; email templates for event registration and ecommerce; design templates for social media; and helping with art direction for skate decks, apparel, and stickers.

Joined as the first (and only) design hire on the engineering team, initially responsible for designing and developing the interfaces for their proprietary CRM and event website(s), eventually taking end-to-end ownership of the design and implementation of an attendee social network that doubled as a library for post-conference materials. As the company experienced non-stop growth, a large part of my role became updating our digital products and their respective design systems quickly. To better facilitate this, I led a six-month, multi-department campaign that focused on creating a scalable, flexible brand system our program directors could use to spin up new verticals and event types quickly. With iPads being gifted to most attendees, I also designed an iOS conference app with digital versions of a few of our luxury cardstock invitations to mitigate postage costs and material waste.
