Selected Work

Four projects.
A deliberate range.

The portfolio is intentionally varied: a domain-expert in-house role, a full-scope agency engagement, an enterprise design systems build, and an independent product design engagement from scratch. That range is the point.

A designer who has only worked in one context tends to bring one tool to every problem. These four projects represent the contexts that shaped how I think — each one demanding a different approach and leaving something different behind.

GIA — Domain depth

2.5 years embedded. The kind of institutional understanding you can only build over time, in the room, watching expert users work.

RKS Design — End-to-end breadth

Research through production. The full stack, under deadline pressure, across multiple industry verticals.

Hamilton — Systems thinking

250+ frames. Three platforms. One coherent visual language. The work that requires designing for the designer, not just the user.

loop — Product ownership

A founding-team engagement. Full creative responsibility from research through to developer handover.

GIA — Gemological Institute of America

Nearly 2.5 years designing internal enterprise platforms, mobile, B2B SaaS, and client-facing experiences for the global authority in gem certification. The longest engagement in the portfolio — and the one that taught me the most about designing for precision domains and expert users.

RKS Design — Website Modernization

Full-scope rebuild of a globally recognized product design firm’s digital presence. The challenge wasn’t aesthetic — it was strategic: how do you make a design firm’s website do what the firm claims to do for its clients? Research-led, crafted end-to-end, and measured post-launch.

Hamilton Company — UI & Design System

Inheriting an approved direction and extending it into a system that could govern every interface in Hamilton’s ecosystem — web, WPF, and embedded. 250+ frames. Two themes. Zero platform-specific exceptions. The project that taught me constraints improve design when you respect them early.

loop — Social Platform Design

The founding-team engagement: full creative responsibility from research through to developer handover. Geography as a primary organizing principle, not a filter. Three distinct feed types serving three user archetypes with fundamentally different relationships to social confidence.
