CASE STUDIES
After almost 10 years, the CalOptima.org website was redesigned with a goal to make the site more accessible and modern. As the UX/UI lead on this project, I created a design that is intuitive and user friendly, which utilizes responsive design and the addition of video content to increase engagement and interactivity.
As the Product Design Lead on the Aeris by iRobot website rebrand, I collaborated with key stakeholders to position the product within the existing customer journey. This initiative involved developing a new Figma-based design system and adjusting the site to meet ADA standards, which significantly increased user engagement and conversions.
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Online Report to the Community
The CalOptima Report to the Community is traditionally a printed piece, but to reach a broader audience and highlight key milestones, the report went online in 2021. As the lead on this project, I was responsible for developing a proof of concept design showcasing interactive page animation and dynamic charts. Over the course of only a few weeks, this concept was then developed into a single page website showcasing the agency’s outreach achievements in the community. I was both designer and developer on this project, with responsibilities ranging from creating CSS stylesheets to configuring data for use with the charts.js plugin.
