UX Case Studies.
BONUSRIGHT
UI/UX Design for Web Application
I improved the user experience of a complicated spreadsheet system for employee bonus programs by developing a new UI/UX design. 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.

SAVAGE SERVICES
UI/UX Design for New Mobile & Web Application
Developing a new ETS application was needed for Savage Services to simplify processes throughout the company. Savage recently acquired Environmental Sector (Enviroserve) and provides emergency response, environmental remediation, and waste management solutions for customers across the United States.

ODYSSEY RELOCATION
Corporate Rebrand and Website Redesign
The name “Odyssey” tends to be futuristic, innovative, and ahead of their time, but their current style and brand was stuck in the Apollo missions lost at sea.
PROJECT ROLE
*Individual ownership of task or project
JP STRONG
Passion Project
When you see children going through hard things and are passionate about an organization and the community, you try to do what you can to help. I had an opportunity to not only meet a hero of mine, but help raise money on his behalf.
TSHIRT DESIGN
To help support JP Gibson and his fight of cancer for the 2nd time in his short life, I designed a shirt that celebrated his love for the Utah Jazz. The Utah Jazz did a 1 time print of 5oo shirts to launch the #JPStrong campaign and the shirts sold out within minutes. It was then that this cause really started to take off and gain traction.
NBA APPROVAL
“We love what you’re doing, but let’s make sure we do it the right way.” The Utah Jazz then sent me over a contract to sign over the rights to the JP Strong logo and get approvals from the NBA. It was told to me that approvals usually take a few months, but I had approval within 30 minutes. And the next thing to do was let the Jazz promote the shirt.
$12K RAISED
Through making the shirt available on an online sale and selling out in a few short minutes, to the Utah Jazz players promoting and buying shirts, to dedicating a home game to JP, there was over $12,500 donated and raised to the Gibson family to help in their medical bills and fight.
