Skills + Capabilities

I don’t just design screens. I make complex experiences make sense.

My work spans strategy, research, information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, usability testing, design systems, and cross-functional leadership — turning ambiguity into clarity at every level.

Six Capabilities,With The WorkThat Proves Them.

Each tile turns over: the claim on the front, the methods and the projects behind it on the back.

01

UX Strategy +Experience Leadership

Ambiguous business and user problems, turned into clear experience direction.

UX Strategy + Experience Leadership

Frame the problem before the solution. Set experience direction that product, engineering and business can all commit to, then stay close enough to the work to keep the direction honest as it gets built.

Methods

Experience Strategy · UX Strategy · Creative Direction · Product Thinking · Problem Framing · Vision Development · Opportunity Definition · Prioritization · Stakeholder Alignment · Workshop Facilitation · Design Leadership · Critique · Mentorship


Proof

Ambiguous business and user problems, turned into clear experience direction.

02

Experience Mapping +Service Thinking

Complex journeys made visible, so teams can see the breakdowns and decide where to act.

Tap or hover for detail →

Experience Mapping + Service Thinking

Pull scattered research, analytics and stakeholder knowledge into one model of the journey. Name the moments that matter, show where the experience breaks across channels, and turn that into a shortlist of places worth investing.

Methods

Journey Mapping · Current + Future State · Service Blueprints · Ecosystem Mapping · Touchpoint Analysis · Moments That Matter · Pain Point Identification · Stakeholder Workshops · Experience Principles


Proof

Complex journeys made visible, so teams can see the breakdowns and decide where to act.

03

Research +Insights

Research that reduces uncertainty and gives design decisions a stronger foundation.

Tap or hover for detail →

Research + Insights

Plan the study around the decision it needs to inform. Run the sessions, sit in the synthesis, and hand back something a team can act on rather than a deck to ignore.

Methods

Research Planning · Stakeholder + User Interviews · Contextual Inquiry · Competitive Analysis · Heuristic Review · Usability Testing · Concept + Prototype Testing · Qualitative Research · Affinity Mapping · Insight Development · Jobs / Needs Analysis · Readouts


Proof

Research that reduces uncertainty and gives design decisions a stronger foundation.

04

Information Architecture +Taxonomy

Structure that matches how people actually think, not how the org chart is drawn.

Tap or hover for detail →

Information Architecture + Taxonomy

Inventory what exists, model how people actually think about it, and rebuild the structure around intent rather than the internal org chart. Then validate it and leave rules behind so it survives the next content release.

Methods

Information Architecture · Taxonomy · Navigation Systems · Content Hierarchy · Content Modeling · Audits + Inventories · Metadata · Labeling Systems · Search / Findability · Sitemaps · Mental Models · Card Sorting · Tree Testing · Governance


Proof

Structure that matches how people actually think, not how the org chart is drawn.

05

UX + UI /Interaction Design

Flows, screens, and micro-interactions designed through QA so first impressions hold.

Tap or hover for detail →

UX + UI / Interaction Design

Design the flow, then the screen, then the words on it. Cover the states nobody asks for — empty, error, loading, mid-task exit — and stay with the thing built through QA so first impressions match what was tested.

Methods

Interaction Design · User + Task Flows · Wireframing · Responsive UX · UI Design · Visual Hierarchy · Content · Accessibility · Component Thinking · Design Systems · Micro-copy · Form Design · Error States · Prototyping · QA


Proof

Flows, screens, and micro-interactions designed through QA so first impressions hold.

06

AI + EmergingExperiences

Designing around what the model can and cannot be trusted to do.

Tap or hover for detail →

AI + Emerging Experiences

Design the interaction around what the model can and cannot be trusted to do. Decide where a person stays in the loop, what the system discloses, and how it behaves when it is wrong. I also use AI to prototype faster and accelerate synthesis.

Methods

AI Experience Design · Human-AI Interaction · Conversational UX · Prompt Design · AI-Assisted Prototyping · Agentic Experience Concepts · AI Workflow Design · Trust + Transparency · Human Oversight · Error / Uncertainty Design


Proof

Designing around what the model can and cannot be trusted to do.
