Step 1
The Atom
Interfaces, icons, characters, logos. The smallest pieces of the work.

Step 2
The Pattern
Every popup on the platform was built ad-hoc. Different layouts per layer. Inconsistent data hierarchies. No shared components. Users screenshot these popups for their reports.
I identified common elements across fifty types, built a coherent system across nine data layers, and established patterns that made every new data source faster to ship.

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.

Step 3
The Feature
Two tools. No connection between them.
Two tools for 2,340 cameras. Neither saved your layout. I watched operators work, then designed the wall they could build, name, and keep.
Build a wall. Name it. Come back to it tomorrow
List. Search. Map. Find any camera three ways.
Same wall, different density. Six cameras or sixty

Step 4
The Product
Vessel data existed but no one could see the full picture. Port authorities needed real-time movement patterns, dwell times, and throughput in a single view.
I designed the analytics dashboard they use today. Live in production. Presented at TRB 2025.
Hexbin over point clusters. Density holds at any zoom level.
Cross-filtered charts. Select vessel type, every chart updates.
H3 resolution slider. Analysts control spatial granularity.
Deployed. Port authorities use it daily to track vessel movement, dwell time, and route alternatives.

Ssongs — Korean Hotdog Ordering
A QR ordering app that killed the queue — no download required.
Mall food courts have queues. Even for the ones with tablets at the counter. Ssongs is a browser-based ordering app — scan a QR code, order from your phone, no app download. A weekly Red Light Green Light game turns wait time into engagement.
84% of 19 test participants preferred it over the existing process. 31 heuristic issues identified across 5 sprints over 7 months.
Delivered alongside: style guide, component library, sprint mapping for three design sprints.
Capstone project · Browser-based · Usability tested with 19 participants
Away-sis — HoloLens Meditation
A meditation app for a hospital system — measured with biophysical data, not surveys.
Built for ChristianaCare, one of the largest health systems in the US. Away-sis uses a day-to-night-to-stillness sequence that replicates the body's internal clock. The return from meditation is gradual — not jarring. Sight, sound, and breath are targeted across guided sessions.
The HoloLens headset recorded biophysical data during use. We measured cognitive load reduction directly, not just user preference. Built in Unity, tested with medical practitioners.
