Projects

2024
Material 3 Dynamic Color System on Mercury for Android at Mercury

Worked alongside our very talented Android engineering team to reimagine the Mercury app for Android using the Material 3 design system. Additionally, we redid our color system to prefer Dynamic mode by default. This means that all of our Android users experience a Mercury app that's tailored to them.

The employee experience for mobile and web – quickly viewing your cards, uploading reimbursements, and seeing tasks you need to complete.

2024
The Mercury Aura at Mercury

I teamed up with our Brand and Design Systems teams to help create a robust color system that stretches across all Mercury touchpoints: print, digital, brand, product, web, mobile, etc.

This system creates cohesion between our Marketing, Web, iOS, and Android design systems and lays the foundation for all of our semantic color tokens. Additionally, it's perpetually uniform, giving us the ability to create highly accessible and consistent UI and brand materials.

Barstool Sportsbook Landing Page at Barstool Sports
