Case Studies.

LIVE TULA

Mobile & Web Application Design

I designed and developed a new exciting and up-to-date brand and style guide for the company, establishing clear expectations for both digital and physical products. I designed standards for the new mobile app and other digital assets, collaborating closely with stakeholders to enhance the overall member experience. Additionally, I built a strong partnership with engineers, providing direction and guidance to be aligned with the vision for LIVE TULA’S new products.

BONUSRIGHT

Web Application Design

I improved the user experience of a complicated spreadsheet system for employee bonus programs by developing a new interface for employees to interact with. The new design made the system easier to use, improved the efficiency and accuracy of the bonus tracking process, and was a win-win for businesses and employees.

JP STRONG

Passion Project

When you see children facing challenges and are passionate about a cause, you do what you can to help. I designed a T-shirt to support JP Gibson, a hero of mine who was fighting cancer for the second time. The Utah Jazz printed 500 shirts for the #JPStrong campaign, which sold out within minutes, gaining momentum. The NBA approved the logo quickly, and with the Jazz’s promotion, over $12,500 was raised to support the Gibson family’s medical expenses.
