I enjoy helping to make life better for others by building useful, pleasant, and easy-to-use software. I have first-hand experience leading cross-functional and international design teams to create desirable products and services.
I am currently working with the Honda and Acura brands to lead the design of their mobile applications.
My work to date helps people conveniently interact with their car, be informed about the risk of sun exposure, get tech help,
and even enjoy some absurd fun.
Learn more about my past work with the selected projects below.
The HondaLink and AcuraLink mobile apps enable people to remotely interact with and see the status of their vehicle.
I led a comprehensive redesign of both HondaLink and AcuraLink to consolidate their design components and better align with how users interact with our apps.
I also led the design effort when partnering with Amazon to enable customers to have packages delivered directly inside their vehicle.
I am the Senior UX Designer for both HondaLink and AcuraLink.
Sun Risk is an app for iOS and Apple Watch which uses dynamic color and typography to inform users of their risk of skin damage from the sun.
Sun Risk has been featured by Apple on the front page of the app store and in multiple "App Store Collections".
I designed and implemented the iOS and Apple Watch apps using
Swift and Xcode.
I also designed and built the marketing website.
The focus of my work at Honda R&D was prototyping in-vehicle interfaces that make
sense
in the context of autonomous driving.
I wish I could show the projects I worked on here,
but
given the nature of R&D, it's all got to be kept under wraps!
My work here primarily involved integrating findings from academic research into functional interface prototypes.
The UCLA Service-Now website allows users to submit IT help requests with a quick and intuitive menu system.
I led and implemented a redesign of the front page which better matched our customers' mental model when seeking tech help. This redesign led to a significant increase in successful self-service ticket creation.
I designed the new front-page, and pitched it to management.
I also
implemented the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front page.
My personal hobby photography which focuses on capturing interesting patterns and textures from everyday objects and environments in my daily life.
