These pieces were designed to feel great in the hand, nest together, and provide a fresh backdrop for cuisine. Currently in use on AMX airplanes and airport lounges.

Perhaps cramped, dingy, and questionably maintained space? Diving into a multisensory, passenger experience, to identify pain points and opportunities, this team of designers, hackers (and one UX researcher) pushed the bounds of current technology to provide an elevated experience that anticipated passenger behaviour at every step. This aspirational project pushed the client to prioritize more touchless features and purposeful lighting on two following lavatory projects, one that is currently flying. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602861d1928be41870ce7e91/1613445771201/Projection.jpg Work - Industrial design & User experience - Projection enabled interactive cabin How can airlines quickly update their interiors, without taking their fleet offline? This future-focused concept used projection to enable real-time customization. By employing a smooth, seamless form language the cabin architecture becomes a canvas for an airline to create dynamic scenes that change at different phases of the passenger journey. For example, at breakfast time, flight attendants can transition to a morning sequence. This concept mockup was used to orient engineering teams toward a roadmap that included dematerialization and quick customization.

Using a flowing, gestural language, this first class seat concept was placed in an aircraft sales mockup to show airline customers new spatial opportunities.

Leading a cross-functional team, we created baseline and premium lavatory features that work consistently across the family. We prioritized purposeful lighting, minimized sound, consistent tolerances, water containment, clear touchpoints, and surfaces that are easy to keep clean. Scheduled to fly beginning in 2022.

Without updating the underlying components, the client wanted to update the look of the 737 attendant control panel. Using a dark screen surround as part of the housing, I was able to unify the buttons and the screen, as well as extend the perceived screen size. Currently flying on the 737.

As more small jets become available at lower price points, the client considered how to appeal to a broader audience beyond pilots who were trained by the military. Using luxury automotive materials and ergonomically-sized touchpoints that allow for eyes-free interaction, the team designed a product that can be used by seasoned pilots or those who are new to flying.

In collaboration with visual artist Heather Jarvis, it makes visible the magnitude and breadth of grassroots organizing that SJF invested in over its’ 40 years. Each ribbon represents a grant given, and the colors represent mission categories. My job was to design the timeline, with each board representing one decade.

My role was to design one book and develop a style guide that could be replicated as NDLON launches additional books. The style guide included a cover and page templates, color palette, and typography standards.

Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602e9bd3b529802f45c3e42d/1613667332405/womxn+act+2018.png Work - Communication design - Womxn Act on Seattle 2018 This conference, held on the anniversary of the first Womxn’s March on Seattle, included almost 100 events at 9 locations around the region. I designed a program of communication including social media posts and event banners, fundraising asks, t-shirts, newspaper ads, posters and printed programs.

In collaboration with Seattle Indivisible and Backbone campaign, we produced LED signs, black and white protest signs, and projections on nearby buildings.

I use analysis tools, such as the zebra map, to build surface continuity. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602c7c9749ee2d06d9c5de0f/1613665860799/design%2Blanguage%2Bcover.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach Design language drives alignment within a particular direction, including overall impressions, form, interaction types, detailing, material choices, and lighting. I use design language boards to understand distinct directions, explore possibilities, and build agreement early in the project process. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602c7c9749ee2d06d9c5de1b/1613580611808/user%2Btesting.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach User testing can validate developed concepts, services, and experiences. I always do user testing in some way; however, it is especially important to test complex systems and services to ensure that intended experience goals are being met. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602c7c9749ee2d06d9c5de09/1619738643855/trend%2Bcover.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach Trend forecasting and competitive analysis enable teams to make strategic choices. I use these kind of forecasting tools to establish and narrow form and interaction directions, understand competitive forces, and to try to predict where the experience landscape might shift. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/6034476a4b84f979adcb634d/1619738654463/Experience%2Bprototype.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach By simulating a proposed user experience, we can gain insights beyond the things we learn from static appearance prototypes. I use experience prototypes at different fidelities to steer teams toward solutions that function beautifully, instead of just looking beautiful. Without experience prototyping, there is no way of learning prior to launch if your experience goals will be met. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602d4a07de8c7302515a8771/1613659382672/Storyboard%2Bcover.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach Storyboards help to define new experiences with space, light, objects, and touchpoints. I often use storyboards to better understand the steps that a user must take to achieve a task, to prototype an experience with animated elements, or to create a presentation of a proposed experience. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602d48150364970ec5b60164/1613659382663/Sketch%2Bwall%2Bfinal.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach Sketching is a quick way to develop concepts and compare directions. I use sketching to explore ideas, user scenarios, initial form directions, and design details. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602c7c9749ee2d06d9c5de15/1613666059083/7x%2Bsplash%2Btest%2Bconcept%2B1.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach Form development is an essential activity when designing for manufacture. I develop form using sketching, prototyping and CAD, iteratively narrowing in on solutions that meet the design intent and manufacturing constraints. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6009d08265c29b5df2bdf5f1/t/602c7c9749ee2d06d9c5de03/1619738591611/journey%252Bcover.jpg Work - Design Process & Approach Understanding the user journey and diagnosing the key challenges that users face is the foundation to a solid UX strategy. I use systematic mapping to inform guiding principles and to identify key moments when design can elevate the user experience. Identifying these interventions grounds strategy in reality, and allows us to evaluate potential actions for feasibility and impact.
