CURATED PROJECTS
CURATED PROJECTS
My ideal work environment is having the freedom to design inclusively and collaborate on diverse projects with passionate teams who jibe well. Luckily, I’ve been able to do just this, both in-house and in an agency, with some amazing clients, designers, researchers, developers, and PMs on some interesting digital projects. Feel free to reach out if you would like a project walkthrough, otherwise here are presentation summaries of my favourite projects ↓

FEATURED: VANCOUVER ART GALLERY Award-winning installation
FEATURED: VANCOUVER ART GALLERY Award-winning installation
The Vancouver Art Gallery’s exhibit explored the transformative influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the development and production of visual culture. We were approached by the gallery’s head curators to design and develop a functional art piece which visualized visitor data.
Our piece, ‘Creepers’, is an AI-driven installation piece that tracks gallery visitor movements using an unobtrusive AI camera which maps their movements with aesthetic, coloured lines on a screen, and allows visitors to map themselves onto the piece.

MODO CARSHARING MARKETING SITE OVERHAUL
MODO CARSHARING MARKETING SITE OVERHAUL
Modo, the oldest car sharing coop in BC, approached AP to re-platform and redesign their website.
We were able to improve Modo's branding on their site and better align it with the Modo mobile app (primarily used for booking vehicles); rethink the overall page hierarchy, user flow, and site map; and finally re-evaluate their design components and content, ultimately reducing clutter.

TELUS INTERNET USER JOURNEY REDESIGN
TELUS INTERNET USER JOURNEY REDESIGN
Our team collaborated with two key teams within the Telus org, a design team and the home services (internet) team, to help establish a clearer design strategy, support frequent A/B tests, and specify a redesign for a more effective way-finding system within their internet sales user flow on their marketing site.
The updates we made increased Telus's internet sale conversation rates, customer click-through rates to different key points in the journey, and the overall amount of time spent in the internet section.

IBM'S BENEVITY LOGIN FLOW FOR DESKTOP
IBM'S BENEVITY LOGIN FLOW FOR DESKTOP
Being apart of a preferred vendor team (All Purpose) for IBM means general site maintenance for their different initiatives, including updating pages to reflect their Carbon design system.
Benevity is an IBM platform which streamlines corporate social responsibility (CSR) and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) for companies, making it easier for their employees to make an impact. I was tasked with outlining a user flow, from lo-fi to hi-fi, for their consent flow within this platform.

VIRTRO'S 'ARGOTIAN VR' ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE
VIRTRO'S 'ARGOTIAN VR' ONBOARDING EXPERIENCE
Virtro is a Vancouver-based VR startup whose leading product was Argotian, a language learning ed-tech application.
First-time users were struggling to interact with key in-game elements. Due to the nature of VR, it is important to present relevant information to users so they can autonomously experience the game with confidence. I worked in-house to ensure that the onboarding experience within the application was seamless.
