Creating Thoughtful Integration
As the lead design liaison for the FirstConnect Digital project, I guided a complex integration between a strategic third-party partner and our internal development team. By bridging technical and creative needs, I ensured the solution was designed and delivered seamlessly, resulting in a successful launch that earned strong recognition from the partner and showcased my ability to manage high-stakes, cross-functional collaborations.
To support this integration, I created comprehensive design flows and detailed specifications that addressed multiple user scenarios, including payment states, email communications, and widget behavior. By documenting UI call-outs and edge cases with clarity, I ensured engineers and partners had the guidance they needed to implement without ambiguity. This structured approach not only accelerated development but also reinforced consistency and usability across the product.
Calendar Redesign
I led the complete redesign of the calendar feature, transforming it from a static tool into a dynamic scheduling hub. This project addressed long-standing usability challenges while introducing powerful new capabilities such as integrated meeting scheduling, flexible daily and weekly views, and streamlined booking flows. The result was a tool that not only looked modern but also directly improved efficiency for users managing busy schedules.
My process included analyzing user pain points, mapping out end-to-end scheduling scenarios, and creating detailed design flows that covered everything from widgets and overlays to booking links and automated emails. By optimizing navigation and visual hierarchy, I made it easier for users to switch contexts, coordinate meetings, and stay on top of their commitments. The redesign significantly enhanced both functionality and satisfaction, positioning the calendar as a core productivity driver within the platform.
Beyond Major Projects
In addition to leading large-scale initiatives, I also drove impactful improvements that strengthened both our product and design practice. I led the company-wide migration from Adobe XD to Figma, ensuring a smooth transition that quickly met business needs and improved collaboration across teams. This shift allowed design and development teams to stay productive with minimal disruption while unlocking immediate workflow efficiencies.
I also took initiative to address critical bugs, errors, and inconsistencies across the app. By partnering closely with developers, I delivered quality-of-life improvements that resulted in a more stable, reliable product—directly contributing to user satisfaction and retention.
These efforts highlight my dependability and adaptability. Whether guiding complex integrations, redesigning core features, or tackling cross-team challenges, I consistently had my hands in many aspects of the GlassHive project, ensuring that both users and the business saw meaningful results.
