I believe that Design can change lives and change our world. Below is highlights of work I’m proud to have built.

HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS

UCLA HEALTH INNOVATION LABS

There has always been a tenuous relationship between hospital and patient, whether it is a lack of understanding, lack of communication or lack of service and follow through. My team and I were tasked to develop a patient focused journey and map out opportunities for the Labs to build into their roadmap to increase patient experiences connected with bhp treatment and care within the UCLA system.

One example from the UCLA Newsroom Article tells of an initiative that has paid off with net revenues of more than $800,000 per month is a UCLA elective surgery discharge program that has made the patient discharge process much more efficient and gets patients being discharged by their doctors out of the hospital faster and with a better understanding of how to take their post-surgery medication, said Dr. Michael Yeh, associate professor of surgery at UCLA.

QUEST ALLIANCE - EDUCATION INNOVATION NGO (Bangalore, india)

Quest Alliance is a unique platform where the interest and capabilities of NGOs and the Private Sector converge to design innovative and scalable solutions for Education and training for children and youth, leverageing teh power of existing or emerging information and communication technologies.

Within Quest Alliance I was hands-on and led designers on 4 different projects. 1. Keeping kids in school by creating enticing curriculum. 2. Assessing and implementing learning techniques that will help teenies to understand social etiquette and norms to keep jobs. 3. Organize and support Microsoft YouthSpark for entrepreneurial and tech focused youth in India. 4. Retention strategy to keep youth attracted, learning and connected to Quest after the initial engagment ended.

SOCIAL CREDITS INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FOUNDATION WEBSITE (Qatar)

Only through controlling the supply side of money one can make the deals that have social-impact to the economy. Thus Social Credits was born, an innovative public-private partnership model which seeks to incentivize private capital to finance public amenities (e.g. agriculture, education, energy, health, housing and water) and infrastructure projects.

As Design Lead I led the creative strategy around Web, and social engagement.

GE/Chevron Field Efficiency Workshop & Strategy

Connecting infrastructure via sensors and wireless networks is cheap and easy, but understanding the human motivations, desires and values underpinned by the Internet of Things is a challenge. We had to look at the Industrial Internet through the lens of human behavior, offering methodologies and frameworks for design teams.

I started into the rabbit hole of scientific research and new technology to aid in recovery and efficiency of oil wells. In this project I was leading up visuals and taking a strong hand in drawing up the user experience/user interfaces and focus for our workshop with GE and Chevron.

Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation Website

Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation had a desire to bring their web presence up to speed and expand their offerings. Drupal technology lets the company hold the reins. The elegant and simple design showcases their projects and donation opportunities while full bleed photography keeps what is most important front and center. 

KINDARA WOMEN’S HEALTH AND FERTILITY APP

Boulder Startup built to support women’s understanding of their bodies. This was a really inspiring product that was female co-founded and focused on a lesser invested in wave of femtech. I worked directly with the CEO and Co-Founder to re-brand, and build out Architecture/Design for entire app.

PEOPLE FOR BIKES

Not only are they a smart and thoughtful bunch of people, but they are the backbone of support for the bicycle infrastructure within the U.S. cityscape. They are the liaison between the bicycle citizen and local and national governments, providing research that provides that allow public representatives to encourage cost effective investments that will benefit our country years from now and well into the future.

The client loved it and is garnered great results from the campaign with an outreach nationwide, through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. There was excitement nationwide, as 29 cities participated in the campaign.
