Led end-to-end UX, from discovery to prototypes that defined the product.

Cut to design-to-engineering turnaround time

Step 1

Project Alignment and Requirements Mapping

A unified requirements map brought business goals, user needs, and technical constraints into one clear framework. This alignment improved collaboration, reduced back-and-forth, and kept the project ahead of schedule.

Step 2

Prototyping to Evaluate Vendor Selection

When development moved to an external firm, rapid user-focused mockups translated requirements into clear, scalable interface patterns. Delivering this within a single sprint enabled immediate vendor evaluation and kept the project on schedule.

Step 3

Fidelity Concepts

A clear fidelity progression delivered fast alignment, smarter decisions, and high-quality final designs ready for seamless handoff.

Step 4

New User Dashboard

This dashboard redesign focused on making the experience clearer and more useful at a glance. By reducing friction and improving how information and actions are presented, the new layout helps users understand what matters most and confidently take their next step.

Focus Areas

Reduced visual clutter
Converted static text to actionable links
Added helpful guidance to reduce cognitive load

Step 5

Design System and Style Guide

I built a scalable design system to improve consistency and enable faster, more confident iteration. The system introduced a reusable component and pattern library, clear color usage for CTAs, and accessible typography. I collaborated with contract designers and developers to transition the work into an updated CMS and set the foundation for future growth.
