Design case studies

Scope and impact

I've been fortunate to design for millions of users worldwide, helping to shape progress across the fields of education, technology, entertainment, and law. I've worked with teams ranging from lean startups to large global enterprises. Shifting between industries has helped me develop a balanced, holistic sensitivity toward design. Here you can explore a handful of projects which represent unique skill sets.

Where I’m currently focused

Lately I’ve been focused on solutions which:
  • Empower litigators to orchestrate discovery production sharing from within their Ediscovery software, enabling secure inter-party collaboration
  • Allow legal teams to reproduce previously run productions, thereby eliminating significant user pain and reducing users’ dependency on third-party solutions
  • Enhance search hit attribution throughout a complex Ediscovery ecosystem

Case studies

Materially sensitive details and ongoing work aren’t shared in my portfolio. I'm happy to discuss my more recent experience more in-depth via 1:1 conversation.

Multicolor designations

csDISCO 2023-2024

This case study represents a comprehensive rework of highlight UI mechanics in DISCO’s Case Builder litigation management platform. The work will enable effective trial designations and a host of other complex litigation workflows. Far more than basic digital highlighting, this work represents a nuanced reinvention of a critical litigation workflow tool which otherwise hasn’t been reconsidered in the last sixty years of legal practice.

SMS 10DLC compliance

ActiveCampaign is an omni-channel marketing automation platform with a historically undervalued SMS offering. In anticipation of a changing SMS regulatory landscape, this work helped ensure legal compliance, a smooth transition for users, and a foundation for future investment in messaging protocol technology.

HMH Science Dimensions

Many education products suffer from confusing experiential design. HMHSD is a national K-12 solution for students and educators that prioritizes the learner’s experience. Building HMHSD presented an opportunity to challenge engrained industry assumptions about learning and pedagogy.

The following case studies below are disabled for now. They may return soon.

Production Sharing

Ediscovery in service of effective, accurate document production is critical in the practice of law. Equally important is the need to securely distribute, then manage access to those produced documents. This case study details an innovative solution for secure production management between legal professionals.

Web Personalization

ActiveCampaign 2022

This work is a series of design explorations driving the evolution of ActiveCampaign’s Web Personalization product, specifically tailored to bolster adoption and enhance feature maturity given the product’s relative newness.

Jenkins OSS collaboration

CloudBees 2020

I developed a process for inter-org collaboration between open-source contributors and CloudBees employees, then refined it while ushering in design improvements to a uniquely complex legacy UI. This case study is largely about process design.

Visual design explorations
