Projects

Consisting of a combination of professional and academic work demonstrating the ability to solve user problems and streamline their experiences.

Professional

As part of a several year initiative at Discover Financial Services, I was the lead design strategist for the launch of a brand new checking product, Cashback Debit.

Online Account Opening

Imagined the process for online account creation through robust competitive analysis, customer journey mapping, implementation, and post-production usability testing.

Early Pay

Created a visual identity and user experiences which included a vendor integration for the Early Pay feature. Early Pay allows customers to gain access to their Direct Deposit payment up to 2 days early.

Features and Benefits

With so many new features coming to market, I identified the need to reimagine our account features and benefits experience through an information architecture and design exercise.

Academic

Through my Masters in Human Computer Interaction coursework at DePaul University, I have a variety of projects that reflect learnings and experience in everything from research, to design, to coding.

HelpFi

As part of my Learning Experience Design coursework, I completed a three week individual project with three major components: competitive research, ideation and sketching, and the creation of a mid-fidelity prototype named HelpFi. The focus of this project was a financial education app using the cognitive apprenticeship learning theory to educate 17-25 year olds about basic financial concepts.

FitPilot

In partnership with a group, I spent an entire quarter working from ideation, prototyping, and user testing resulting in a working high fidelity prototype of a Mobile App + Smart Watch integration, FitPilot.

Interpreats

Interpreats, a nutrition and harmful ingredient notification app, was created in partnership with a group as our final capstone. The quarter long project was a representation of a summation of our Human Computer Interaction course work including research and design deliverables.
