A collaborative user interface & user experience designer, problem solver, and strategist

The Department of Defense (DoD) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program attracts, inspires, and develops exceptional STEM talent across the education continuum.

My team leads the communications and outreach for DoD STEM. I serve as the creative director for all deliverables ensuring brand integrity and cohesion. I led the redesign of the public facing website to modernize the site, improve the user experience and put accessibility in the forefront. I oversee three other digital platforms for this client including a community collaboration platform, a robotics grants application and dashboard, and a digital badging platform.

NC State University's Invigorating Statistics and Data Science Teaching through Professional Learning (InSTEP) is an online learning platform that provides 6-12 grade educators instruction in teaching statistics and data science.

This is a custom platform including a backend content management system, surveys, and micro-credentials. I worked closely with the client and our internal team of developers to define the overall scope of this project, created user flows and the information architecture, participate in user research, and oversee the creation of wireframes and prototypes.

Sprocket is an online platform for teachers to manage and modify project-based learning (PBL) curriculum, and includes an online community where teachers are able to share ways to implement and adapt courses.

For this custom product, I lead the initial research, worked on the technical scope, created user flows and the information architecture, participated in user research, and lead the UI/UX design.

In collaboration with the American Council on Education (ACE), I led the overall design process to create the Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education (REHE) site to disseminate the findings of ACE's research.

I worked closely with the client to define the product strategy, create the information architecture, led focus groups, created low and high fidelity wireframes, and prototypes. This year, we will be overhauling the microsite to include additional research findings and feedback from users.
