Work Experience
Helped create high fidelity prototypes for stakeholders in features that were 2-3 years out. Added to and refined the design system. Increased design system adoption among the design org.
Worked on lots of projects across diverse industries including: fintech, legal, crypto, and medical. I specialized in marketing sites, interactivity / animations and product design. I owned and my managed projects as well as client communications. Due
to the project variety, I gained a lot of practical design skills including the skills to design, iterate, and prototype quickly.
I was one of the 238 chosen from 30,000 applications. I worked on a new feature for the Nike App. I owned my project from
research to design to high fidelity prototype. I was surrounded by high caliber designers that inspired me and drove me to hone in on my digital craft.
Projects
Overhauled and developed the visual language of Atomic to be more modern, professional and adaptable. We expanded out product offerings and company, the brand needed to follow. Work included, website, product shots, expansive iconography, slide decks, and social posts.
Internal Project / developing a customer focused finance app with simple to use powerful capabilities.
My parents have been working on this charity for a year and have donated more than 2 million dollars in quilts and labor to Ukrainian refugees in Poland. They are expanding their charity to the rest of the world and thought they needed a new look to accompany it. My focus was to come up with a brand that resonated with quilters, was universally understood, and a logo that could be strong enough to stand on it's own. Inspired by quilting blocks, the checkered pattern is a familiar element to quilters worldwide. I used red for the quilt block to drive home the heart in the logo as well.

some brand work I did for a friend. was happy with the way the mark identified them with arizona, but differentiated them in a saturated market.
This client approached me looking for a brand and MVP concept of their software. The brand incorporates the cards, and also draws a connection to their name being Tero (Tarot)
Developed this brand even further, taking into account their new core values, and softening things up to feel more human.
In 2021 I worked on building out an icon system with some of my team at Ivanti. We wanted to come up with an iconography system that had elements of fun and delight but still very legible, as they are used primarily in the service management tool. It was fun to play with styles and land a direction that felt appropriate and rad. We ended up crushing out 150+ icons. I loved utilizing Figma components to make quick and efficient work, creating variants for the flourishes and repeating elements. Great collaborative work from Seth, Tom, Gianna and others!
Distro connects employers with remote engineers. They hit me up for logo, brand and web work. Happy with where we ended up!
I had a great time working close with the Elementary Robotics team to get this site created and live. Go check it out here! (elementaryrobotics.com )
We wanted there to be lots of animated sequences showing off the products and it was a fun task for me to try and tackle those in delightful way. I worked on the layout of the new pages as well as many of the UI elements for sections used on the site.
Shoutout to our team and some killer collaboration here. Especially @camsackett and @alecdougie
