Helping lead the design team at Fastspot - designing websites and design systems for cultural institutions, higher education, and multinational corporations. Working on defining and creating processes, mentoring this incredible team, and winning awards.
Teaching Interaction Design (Figma, prototyping, texture of the web and of screens, ux, etc) and sometimes we talk about art and culture.
Shaping the web process – discovery sessions, IA, wireframes, determining what to build and how to build it, building out the design system, QA, and occasionally re-branding.
Small part of a big company. Doing product & interaction & service design - designing things for a big, bloated, and hopefully more thoughtful and empathetic federal government. Just a designer, standing in front of a government, asking it to love working people. During my time at Fjord, I almost exclusively worked as a Product Designer on the Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid project.
I was a small part of a small team collaborating with non-profit, education, arts, and political organizations who look to repair our world and strengthen our communities. Working with a small, but mighty, team collaborating with progressive organizations on their brands and websites.
Designing websites, wayfinding, and branding for clients that do good (non-profits & higher education).
Led the design, wireframing, and prototyping on over a dozen client websites, and explored new branding initiatives for a few. Clients mostly sat comfortably under the "luxury fashion" label, but occasionally extended to digital startups.
Hello Cheri was an affordable adult toy e-commerce startup based in New York. As the only designer on a small startup team, I designed the digital assets, communications, expanded the brand’s visual language, and refined the existing e-commerce website.
