Transit Stats App
Public transit, made personal
As a daily Chicago CTA rider, I had no way to track my own public transit data, so I built the first app that does. Transit Stats went from concept to the App Store in four months and now serves 1,500+ users with 100+ paying for premium.
Microsoft Give
Making charitable giving effortless
Charitable giving at Microsoft was buried in outdated tools that made participating harder than it should be. I led design on Give vNext, the platform that now connects 200,000+ employees to giving and has helped raise over $520 million for 35,000+ nonprofits.
Microsoft Contracts
1 million contracts, one modern platform
Legal teams at Microsoft manage over 1 million contracts on a platform that had grown outdated and hard to use. I redesigned the entire experience and introduced an agentic AI experience for finding and managing contracts, now serving 30,000 visitors a month.
BragBook
Track work wins as they happen
The work that earns promotions and raises is easy to lose track of, and by the review cycle most of it is forgotten. I founded BragBook to make capturing work accomplishments effortless, designing and building the entire product myself, and growing it to 500+ users since launch.
Microsoft ITM
Keeping great talent in-house
Moving internally at Microsoft was slow enough that employees often left the company to grow in their careers instead of staying. I led design on the Internal Talent Marketplace, making internal moves fast and easy, lowering attrition risk by 25% and saving an estimated $30,000 in hiring costs per move.

Here are some assorted visual design explorations, traditional graphic design work, and anything else I thought looked nice.
