projects
CognoSIS is a Salesforce SIS for K-12 school administration management. During my time at LookThink, I worked on competitive analyses, user flows, and wireframing particularly for the scheduling accelerator as part of the overall structure of CognoSIS. The project utilized a lot of user experience research methodology to create a solution to the complicated problem of school system management.
CodeHunter is a tech start-up focused on malware detection. A small team and I were tasked with redesigning the brand and website of CodeHunter, which we achieved over months of competitive research, design system creation, and brand insight initiatives. The result is an upgraded look and feel for CodeHunter, with a more modern touch that encompasses cutting-edge technology.
RedVentures tasked one other designer and myself to create a website for their new product, RedPlatform, in the same style as the original RedVentures site. We tackled the problem as dual designers and front-end developers, delivering the final design after quick two week sprint. This project was fast-paced and fun for me because I got to integrate my design and coding background into one product.
