The Pattern
Every popup on the platform was built ad-hoc. Different layouts per layer. Inconsistent data hierarchies. No shared components. I redesigned over fifty popup types across nine data layers into a single coherent system.

50+ popup types · 9 data layers · One system.
I sketch to think, play football to not think, and measure coffee extraction like it's a design variable.

The feature
Two tools. No connection between them.
Operators monitored 2,340 cameras through two disconnected tools — one opened feeds in random browser windows, the other couldn't save what you were watching. I sat at their workstations, watched them work, and designed a camera wall system they could build, name, and keep.
Built, named, kept.
List. Search. Map. Three ways to find any camera.
Same wall. Different density.

Browser-based QR ordering that killed the food court queue. 84% preferred.
+
Mall food courts have queues. Even for tablets. Browser-based QR ordering lets anyone order from their phone — no app download, no waiting. A weekly Red Light Green Light game turns wait time into engagement. 84% of 19 test participants preferred it over the existing process. 5 sprints. 7 months.

HoloLens meditation for ChristianaCare. Biophysical cognitive load measurement. Tested with clinicians.
+
A meditation app for ChristianaCare hospitals. Each session moves through a sensory arc — day to night to stillness to night to day — replicating the body's internal clock so the return from meditation is gradual, not jarring. The HoloLens headset recorded biophysical data. We measured cognitive load reduction, not just user preference. Built in Unity, tested with medical practitioners.
