Supporting work

Shipped work is only part of the story.

The decisions behind good products aren't visible in the final UI. These artifacts show how I work through the messy middle — the thinking that gets teams aligned before a single screen gets designed.

Artifacts behind key product decisions

  • Microsoft Aspire service blueprint showing onboarding phases, touchpoints, artifacts, and pain points across the new-hire journey.

    Microsoft Aspire New Hire Service Blueprint

    I mapped the Aspire onboarding journey to show where communication and system handoffs broke before a new hire's first day.

  • Persona profile card for an assistant principal with context, preferences, challenges, and daily activities.

    GoGuardian K-12 EdTech Personas

    I built proto-personas from real K-12 workflows so product and go-to-market teams could make roadmap decisions with a shared view of school needs.

  • 401(k) dashboard interface with account balance, performance chart, allocation donut chart, and action panel.

    ePlan 401(k) Dashboard Redesign

    I explored ways to improve ease of use for ePlan's 401(k) participant dashboard — work that turned into a full redesign after sharing findings with stakeholders and clients. Available on request.

  • Mindsets quadrant map contrasting legacy motivations across present-future and individual-collective axes.

    Pacific Life Insurance Consumer Mindsets

    I turned consumer research into a mindset model so strategy and product leaders could make clearer retirement decisions under regulatory constraints.

  • DreamSphere mobile UI: home with a recent dream entry, capture flow, and dream activity stats.

    DreamSphere

    I co-founded DreamSphere — an AI-powered reflection product built on a single thesis: self-understanding comes from seeing behavioral patterns over time, not just logging individual moments.
