Project Background:
ID Verify mobile application is used to scan QR code or line code produced by the Mobile ID application and display said information for identification. It is mainly used by clerks, admins, or anyone on the service side of the transaction. It designed to be customizable (i.e. colors, branding) for each business, depending on their needs. It allows the admin to set certain attributes that meet certain parameters, like making sure it only verifies everyone over a certain age group. (iOS & Android)

Position:
Lead Designer
Worked with an engineering team in India

Tools:
Sketch, Zeplin, Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, Principle

Goals/Problems:
The goal was to make it as quick as possible to scan someone’s ID and then go on to the next person in line. We wanted it be seamless making people see that it’s much easier to have someone scan your phone than to pull out your actual physical ID. We also tried to let people know that the verifier could only certify the certain information they needed with the approval of the customer.

A problem we ran into was the amount of time was way too long to have someone pull out their phone than get it scanned. It was a case of the phones communicating with each other took a long time and having the verifier having to switch between a different scanner for the different codes.

Branding/Design Style:
ID verify app is using the IDEMIA branding and design style and this just considered a white label version where we would have eventually customize this to fit a business’ needs and preferences.

Project Background:
The Print Edition app was redesigned to replicate the print newspaper news paper reading experience while also allowing better customization. Jeff Bezos had just purchased the Washington Post and was pushing to a more digital centric news platform as newsprint is becoming less used. So the intent of this project was to bring those loyal newsprint reading customers into the digital age.

The Print Edition takes a user’s reading habits into account, prioritizing the most-read sections for download to ensure the app is efficient with a user’s device.

This was one of the first projects on the Washington Post application redesigns.

Position:
Lead designer
Worked with an in-house engineer team

Tools:
Illustrator, Photoshop

Testing:
For this project, we did some user testing. Bringing in dedicated newsprint reading customers to use the app. Recorded them with a camera while sitting in another room observing their actions.

Goals/Problems:
Wanted to showcase the key feature of the print design experience. Broadsheet pages, beautiful headlines, natural page turns. We wanted to make readers feel like they had the print newspaper in their hands.

A problem we ran into was users didn’t know headlines were tap-able allowing readers to pull up a digital version of a story. This was remedy with an onboarding section on the landing page that users could delete.

Success:
This app received generally high reviews in the app store. There were some glaring issues with clickability and turning the page but that was fixed with engineering changes.

Project Background:
With the redesign of all the Washington Post Apps, the goal was to create a universal app that displayed news curated by news editors for native platforms. A new feature that I was able to implement was a card/article "cardicle" design to retain user viewership from article to article.

Lead Designer for the new Washington Post app on iPad and android tablet.  News curated and designed to make use of the extra screen space.

The way the news is displayed was the same to the Washington Post website allowing editors and readers to have a consistent intended experience.

A bunch of animations for The Washington Post Rainbow app. We wanted to add more animation to the app to help with interaction and usability.

Worked with other designers in creating a daily news edition for snapchat. Designers would design a snap and I would handle all the animations in After Effects.

Snap chat demo

Used this video to pitch to Snap Chat and Washington Post executives the idea of putting the Washington Post on snap chat’s feed.

A personal project - this music app was the #1 app in Russian iTunes for a couple months. Used vk.com as a database for music and brought it to your phone, allowing the user to listen to any song that was uploaded to vk.com.

DC metro app I redesigned for fun cause I didn't like the original. My goal was to make it a lot lighter and faster loading times since service is limited underground in the metro system.

Designed this app for Microstrategy, Inc. All employees had to install this on their phone. It gave access to the building/garage through your phone. Used biometric identification.

FirstNet android app created for first response identification.  This is the biometric enrollment process for facial recognition and voice identification.

Project I did with a friend, it was an app that would organize your contact eventually  becoming like digital business card a user could send out to people. The user could select which social media accounts they wanted to share with other people.

iPad App that used 3D models to interpret data. Worked with a data scientist who created the 3D interpretations through code.

Admin interface to create usher pro badges.  Allowed admins to customize their usher pro settings for each badge, from aesthetics to who has access.

I was in charge of handling and creating user interface elements from thousands of icons to map assets for Warhammer Online, a pc game. Using a wacom, everything was painted in Adobe Photoshop.
