Client Navy Federal (February 2012 - Present)
I joined the UX team at Navy Federal in 2012. Since then, we have completely redesigned both the iPhone and Android native apps. With smart UI and an elegant design we were able to raise the Apple Store and Google Play ratings from the low 2's to 4.5 stars. We are continuously listening to our members and innovating with each feature release.
Client Perfect Sense Digital, American Express (September 2010)
A financial website and mobile app that targeted millennials. The content was simple, fresh, and helped young adults find their way through big financial decisions like how to save money for retirement, buying a car, and purchasing their first home. Also, integrated throughout the site was a gaming concept that earned you badges by reading articles and leaving comments. With the mobile app, built using the Foursquare API, users had be ability to check in to venues where they shopped and share what they purchased earning them additional badges.
Client Perfect Sense Digital, Points of Light Institute (March 2011)
Designed an experience for visitors to honor President George H.W. Bush’s dedication to service. Visitors to the site could leave tributes to the President, watch his speeches, read news, and find opportunities to volunteer.Client Perfect Sense Digital, Discovery (January 2012)
This online searchable database of animals and animal shelters placing adoptable pets in homes was owned by Discovery and run independently through it's original owners. The site and brand were re-architectured and redesigned. The focus was on making it easy for adoptive owners to find pets and educate them on how to care for their new animals. Leaning into their existing purple palate and introducing some green and yellow tones, we were able to evolve their brand and create a warm site – easing the daunting task of finding that perfect match for animal lovers.
Client Christian Smith, Developer (July 2013)
A great collaboration with an old co-worker. Most of the app was already coded. All it needed was some branding, sleek design, and enhanced UX work.
Using location-based services we have made it easy for you to find and break the ice with others nearby or at the places you like to hang out at. As new users appear in your Nearby feed, one similar interest is displayed. View a users full profile and see the complete list of your matching interest. The status of the relationship represents the vibe of the conversation and is depicted as either: Full-heart (connected), Half-heart (not connected) or Black-heart (rejected).
Client Perfect Sense Digital, KickApps (November 2010)
A social media applications platform that includes social networking, user-generated content, programmable video players, and drag-and-drop widgets. Working closely with the client I completely reinvented their current branding and marketing website. I created a friendly yet sophisticated design – with the mixture of hand drawn icons, soft textures, and distinct organization of each piece of content.
Client Perfect Sense Digital, Ziplist (August 2011)
The work involved design for both the marketing site and shopping application. The shopping application was created with the flexibility to be white labeled for sites like Martha Stewart, Kitchen Daily, and Simple Recipes.
The app allows users to create a shopping list, sort it by aisle, by category, and by store. For each item you have the ability to add notes and select available coupons. Not sure what you want to eat? Search through the recipes and create lists based on the ingredients.
Client Perfect Sense Digital, SnagFilms (August 2011)
SnagFilms is a very popular film distribution service that acquires distribution rights to distinctive film festival and independent film favorites. The desire of the client was to have a bold and fresh design. My focus was to insure that the design didn't overwhelm the searching and viewing experience. This was achieved by using a palette of black-and-white to frame the content and the use of color highlights to help guide them through the site.
Client AOL, Sports (2007-2009)
For a span of almost 2 years I was the lead designer for AOL Sports. During that time I was responsible for 2 full redesigns and creating feature packages for sports championships. In 2007 AOL Sports was rebranded to Fanhouse. With high quality writers, a new brand, and timely sports stats, page views increased by 25% year-over-year.
Client Perfect Sense Digital (December 2010)
Every year the design team presented the owners of the company a poster to show our appreciation. This one was inspired by a 2006 Feltron Annual Report using stats from the design team ranging from how many cups of coffee we consumed annually to our most used font for the year.
