SELECTED WORKS

Pantone® Connect ↗

Platform: Web & Mobile
Area: SaaS, Creative Tools

Pantone® Connect is Pantone’s official digital platform for color design, built to streamline creative workflows across digital and physical environments. As the lead product designer, I was responsible for the full redesign and expansion of the platform, covering product strategy to interface design and visual systems. This included a complete overhaul of the UI and a custom icon system that unified the brand across mobile and web.

University of Minnesota KDI Canopy ↗

Platform: Web & Mobile
Area: Education Technology

Canopy is a publishing platform developed with the University of Minnesota’s Kusske Design Initiative (KDI), an interdisciplinary program focused on advancing design education and research. The platform was designed to support open-ended collaboration. It allows students and faculty to publish work, comment on others’ projects, and link ideas across disciplines, much like adding footnotes in a shared academic space.

Received CSS Design Awards for:
- UX Design
- UI Design
- Innovation

Arrow IA ↗

Platform: Web
Area: Financial Technology

Arrow IA provides software for managing thousands of structured investment portfolios at scale. I led the design of their core platform, focusing on reducing manual complexity and improving speed in decision-making.

This project is currently in development, so the case study is not publicly available. Let’s talk more in-depth.
