LIVE TULA

We Help You Thrive

At LIVE TULA, I designed and developed a brand and user experience standards for both digital and physical products. This transformed the way members and customers viewed the services provided and the overall member experience as a whole. Putting the company on a bright exciting path forward.

SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY GROUP

Get the Job Done

While working as a UX/UI consultant for STG (Software Technology Group) I was able to be on contract for various business and services with the majority of my time with Savage Services where I developed a new ETS application to simplify processes throughout the company. Savage recently acquired the Environmental Sector (Enviroserve) and provides emergency response, environmental remediation, and waste management solutions for customers across the United States.

Case Study

TESTOUT

Make a Difference

During my time at TestOut I was given the ownership of the company brand which was already very strong and defined through the previous designer. But given the opportunity I was able to develop the individual brands of our specific products and develop the style, look, and communication we wanted for that branch of the company.

MOUNTAIN AMERICA CREDIT UNION

Guiding You Forward

I was able to contribute in many ways within Mountain America Credit Union that allowed my skillset grow and develop in various ways. I was entrusted to take the lead on multiple digital marketing campaigns which involved landing page design and development, email marketing campaigns, digital ad campaigns, and various UX/UI needs throughout the company. Being a senior designer I was also able help mentor and guide junior designers in brand standards and expectations.

DESERET BOOK CORPORATION

A Desire to Learn and Grow Everyday

From developing new web experiences to re-designing and developing new email marketing campaigns and engagement for Deseret Book, I challenged myself to always test and better the experience that our users would have. Inside the Deseret Book brand there are many other companies in which I helped re-design their web experiences and provide more customer engagement and use.
