THE CREATIVE
As I grow in wisdom and technical skill, my passion and my talents have aligned in the practice of UI/UX design. I am a full stack designer who has created and shipped projects in all phases of the design process. I’ve led cross-functional teams, and been an individual contributor. I love working with other talented people and sharing knowledge, skills, and best practices. I’m excited to see where this creative journey takes me next.

Jobs App
Entrepreneurship is often a lonely experience. Many find it hard to find quality mentorship or skills that translate directly. Enter “Jobs”. Based on Steve Jobs famous quote “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”
The app would be similar to if you could combine Masterclass and LinkedIn. In my case study I explored the process of finding a class to enroll in.

ISO App
As part of my UX Design certificate, I wanted to create the sign-up flow for an app called ISO. ISO would act as a mesh of Instagram, Pinterest, and Square.In photography ISO is your camera’s sensitivity to light. In this app’s case I used it as a play on words for “In Search Of…”.
One of the hardest things for a photographer or videographer is to get quality leads. This app would make that easier by helping you quickly be discovered and consequently, booked. This case study explores the first purpose of the app which is signing up creatives.

Bard
I developed my own design system, that I call “System B”, for thought pieces I want to share on social media. One of the first pieces I developed with this was based on Google’s generative ai technology, Bard.

Yeezy university
One function my professional life has been to take complex ideas/strategies and condense them into digestible pitch decks for both internal and external use. This usually involves extensive research, writing, editing, design, and content curation based on the intended audience. Yeezy University is an example of a pitch I made that identified how a school and its apparel sponsor could create a landmark partnership to take brand engagement to new heights.

Creative Direction
In my career I have routinely led cross-functional teams to achieve goals. One of the teams I led was a team across 2 companies, several disciplines, and elected officials from a 4 county tourism district that is internationally known. I led this team through a year long process of empathizing with users, research & discovery, ideation, creation, and feedback.
What we wound up with is a logo (and variations), brand styles, and a marketing strategy for the region that could be used to promote this destination worldwide.
