IAGD

An accessibility-focused, mobile-first redesign for a 15,000+ person geoscience community, addressing inconsistent resource layouts and navigation.

I led research from discovery through synthesis, designed six reusable page types, and consolidated three field-trip structures into one template.

Good Help

A mobile service finder for a nonprofit serving 5,000+ people annually, organizing information for 55 programs with offline support.

I designed the four-level service architecture and cross-listing, owned map discovery, co-designed search, and defined three offline states.

GramCity

A photo-op discovery feature for a fictional photo-editing app, designed to help people find nearby spots and evaluate them through photos and reviews.

Using a provided research brief, I designed a map-first prototype and tested it with five participants. All five completed the core flow and said they would use the feature. Their feedback also led me to add full-screen photo browsing.
