Designing digital products & strategies in small teams for big datasets for 6+ years.

At the moment, I am crafting tools to help various DOT’s

Since Aug 2022, I have been working on various tools to help different Department of Transportations (DOT’s) analyze transportation related metrics. I create new features for PDA (historical data-analysis tool) and RITIS (real-time data-analysis) tool + rebranding.

It matters because my designs directly impact your commute experience.

Designed to reduce queue’s & build a community for corndog chain

I spent 7 months (Oct 22 – Apr 23) in a team of 4 designers to create a gamified browser based system that simplifies the ordering process & uses weekly games to build a community of customers.

It was noteworthy because 84% of customers were in favor of our solutions.

01

Browser based scan to order is much more efficient than downloading an app or waiting in queue for a Kiosk.

02

Specialised screen for customization helps in identifying the ingredients and reduces no. of questions for cashier.

03

Korean culture based games for users during the 10 min wait time helps build a community & rewards regular customers.

Did I tell you that I worked on some VR stuff at an hospital?

I spent 2 months (June 22 – Jul 22) in a team of 2 designers to create an VR based Meditation app to help in recovery/relaxation for chemotherapy patients (distraction therapy) and Medical practitioners & caregivers (from high stress environments like ICU).

It was special because 26/30 medical practitioners saw it as a possible solution.

01

By utilizing the Bio-sensors (cognitive load, respiratory rate, heart rate, etc.) we monitored the cognitive load of users to gauge the effects of the application.

02

Used a mechanism similar to internal clock (day to night to day) to enter and exit the meditation instead of human voice to reduce sudden disturbances.

03

Also tested the app internally for over 3 weeks & noticed gradual decline in cognitive load during meditation and increase in the time for DEEP FOCUS.

To my next team

There's a platform called RITIS that most people have never heard of. It serves over 40 state departments of transportation across the United States. If you've ever checked a traffic app during your commute, some of the data you saw probably flowed through systems I've spent the last three years redesigning.

I've redesigned map legends that organize 179 icons into browseable systems. I've systematized 50 popup types across 9 data layers so that a traffic operator in Virginia sees the same interaction patterns as one in Maryland.

I've sat at a camera operator's workstation, watched them juggle disconnected tools to monitor 2,340 live feeds, and designed a spatial workspace that let them build and save their own monitoring stations.

This is the work I'm drawn to. Dense, layered problems where the interface is the last step in a long chain of decisions about data, hierarchy, and the person on the other end.

I'm not a designer who makes things pretty and hands them off. I dig into analytics to justify killing a tool. I read API documentation to find opportunities the spec didn't mention. I prototype in Figma to secure funding, then stay through implementation.

I'm looking for a small team building something complex. A place where the product problems are genuinely hard and the people solving them take craft seriously. If that sounds like your team, I'd like to talk.
