Work

Domain Overview

How consolidating our “Aha!” moments into one screen became our most popular page, plus the story of a dramatic redesign that kicked off a larger company initiative.

Moz 2.0

How a weekend redesign helped me get company-wide commitment to rebuild Moz Pro's UI/UX, what happened when it turned out to be too slow, and how we fixed that too.

My AI Finance Consolidator

How I used Claude as my design partner and lead developer to build an app that cut my monthly 4-hour bookkeeping task down to 30 minutes.

Don't Redesign STAT!

Hired to redesign the flagship product, I then convinced the company NOT to redesign it for 7 years, and instead, focus on more impactful releases to our clients.

Redesign STAT!

How I convinced the company to finally bring our flagship product out of the stone ages to decrease cancellations, increase conversions, and increase user satisfaction.

STAT 2’s Design Sprints

How we modernized STAT incrementally through a repeatable design sprint process that kept UX ahead of Dev without sacrificing research, validation, or confidence in our decisions.

ePACT's New CICO Flow

How I updated ePACT's Check-in/out flow to cut 300 interactions down to 6.

Keyword Ins/Outs

How I refined an MVP to save months of work for the devs, 9 hours of CS time a week, and increased the unique value of our product... all without a fancy UI.

The Tags Summary Tab

A quick project with an extremely lean design process that decreased our Churn rate by 41%.

Accessible Bar Charts

Reinvented how Bar charts can meet accessibility standards without sacrificing aesthetics.

Arbutus Capital

How I rage-redesigned, SEO’ed, and rebuilt Arbutus Capital’s website, leading to a 24x increase in organic business enquiries.
