UX Design
Alliance iS HPLC System
Waters Corporation
Quality Control (QC) labs face strict compliance, data quality requirements as well as tight timelines and budgets. They also face staff turnover and complex user interfaces.
To address these problems, we designed a touch screen user interface live system monitoring, step-by-step on-screen guidance, traceability, and issue prevention features.
I discovered and defined user needs and requirements through a variety of research methods such as interviews, card sorts, journey mapping, and surveys.
In an agile environment, I designed, validated and reiterated upon designs through usability testing with users.
I documented detailed design specifications for software developers, and established the company's touch screen kiosk design standards.
After launch, the Alliance iS HPLC System reduced human errors by up to 40% based on Waters' market research.
Xcellerex™ Magnetic Mixer
Cytiva
Manufacturing cleanrooms face strict regulations, product loss from use error, complex installation, and extensive training. These issues can be exagerated by high turnover.
To address these problems, we designed the Xcelerex magnetic mixer.
I led design of the touch screen user interface and collaborated with industrial designers and automation engineers for smooth integration.
Before designing, I discovered and defined user needs and requirements through journey mapping and user interviews.
Through planning, moderation, and analysis of findings in usability testing, I iterated to improve the design throughout the project timeline.
My Care Health Portal
My Role: UX Designer
This project was part of my graduate studies at Bentley University.
The My Care Health Portal is a centralized way for patients to communicate with their physicians, view lab results, schedule appointments, and manage prescriptions.
Based on personas and user requirements, I sketched different pages which I then created as wireframes. Next, I created a style guide and design system with reusable components. I designed high-fidelity pages and linked them to create a clickable prototype. Finally, I reiterated based on usability testing.
I designed this application using Figma.
Tamr
My Role: UX Designer
This project was part of my graduate studies at Bentley University. The company Tamr served as the client throughout the duration of the semester. Work from the course could be used by Tamr in their future design work.
I collaborated with a team of other designers to create this application. We began by sketching pages to meet user requirements. Next, we created wireframes for each page and reiterated based on design reviews. I created a style guide and design system for the team to utilize throughout pages. We then designed high-fidelity pages and linked them together to create a clickable prototype. Finally, we conducted usability testing and reiterated based on findings.
This application was designed in Figma.

My Role: UI Designer
Fur the Game is a first-person puzzle game inspired by a desire to create a unique player-AI relationship founded on exploration, puzzle-solving, and the need to care for these creatures.
I created a style guide outlining the UI's color and typography for easy hand-off to development. I designed the game's user interface to be vibrant, appealing to children. In addition, the interactions were designed to be simple enough for all ages to learn. In it's final iteration, user testing showed that children learned mechanics with very little guidance, which was my primary goal.
