Latest Projects & Work Experience

Below are a few of my recent case studies, examples, and my process when it comes to approaching pain points. My style is a minimalistic approach that leverages usability first and foremost. I am adding case studies from older work soon.

Record App

Evoca TV provides a unique experience to end users by providing their favorite regional sports teams over the air. This experience is coupled with the ability to record those same teams. With the tap of a button, users can opt-in to record all events that are televised via Evoca TV so that you can view them later.

Updating Buyflow Experience

An easy to understand buyflow is vital to convert users to customers. This can get complicated when there are both required and optional items in the same flow.

Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I use in my remote setup.

Over the past few years, many of us have transitioned to a solely remote working environment and one has stood out to me over that time, having a good setup is vital. Below are a few of the things I rely on to help maintain that balance of comfort and productivity.

Workstation

  • 14” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)

    This is hands down the best desktop or laptop Mac that I have ever owned. I used to use a 15.4" MacBook Pro i7 and I could practically pop popcorn when it would heat up.

  • LG 4K External Monitor + Dell HD Monitor

    I like utilizing a 27" display that shows fine detail like the LG 4K monitor for mock-ups and coding while also using an HD monitor to check designs on HD. This helps mimic what web apps will look like to end users since HD is still the primary display used by the masses.

  • Keychron K5 RGB + Apple Mouse

    A friend recommended Keychron keyboards to me so I picked one up and the typing experience is great! It's a mechanical keyboard so it's obviously a bit louder but it's smooth, has nice feedback, and I can type just as fast if not faster than the Apple Magic Keyboards. I still use the Apple Magic Mouse because it has so many gestures and is the best I've used with a Mac.

UI/UX Design

  • Figma

    Likely the most popular prototyping tool in the industry, Figma helps me quickly mock-up anything from a single screen to multi-view layout. Sharing with colleagues is also a breeze with this tool as the desktop client always syncs with the cloud and sharing a link is easy!

  • Axure RP 10

    I like to build robust and dynamic prototypes when the need arises. Axure RP 10 allows me to do that by having built in tooling to utilize logic, dynamic pop-ups, scroll triggers and much more!

  • Adobe CC Suite

    Illustrator, Photoshop, and XD have all been used on various projects in the past if necessary.

Programming

  • Webstorm

    I started using Webstorm in college and it stuck. It's a great IDE for React, Next and many other web projects to get a whole view.

  • Visual Studio Code

    Great app for updating HTML/CSS code quickly or needing a plain text document. It's also highly customizable and can be turned into a full blown IDE with add-ons.

Productivity

  • Asana

    Utilized to help keep track of projects, tasks, and subtasks.

  • Azure devOps

    Used for sprints to help keep track of progress for projects between development, product, and design/marketing teams.

  • Jira

    Used for epic, sprints, and daily stand-ups.
