Case Studies
Take a look at some of my work. You'll get a sense of how I align design execution with business strategy to exceed the expectations of both users and stakeholders.
Disney+ App Critique
Problem
Disney+ required strict alignment between D2C retention targets and platform UX to address strategic churn risk. A strategic analysis was necessary to correlate unresolved user friction with projected churn, informing product roadmap decisions with validated UX priorities.
Process
- Market Analysis
- Business Objective Benchmarking
- Friction-Point Analysis
- Strategic Feature Ideation
- High-Fidelity Prototyping
Outcome
Delivered a prioritized, actionable backlog of tactical and strategic UX improvements mapped directly to Disney's D2C retention KPIs. Effectively bridged the gap between raw business metrics and intuitive user flows, providing a data-backed blueprint for future feature scaling.
Fueling Digital Banking Sales with a Mobile Product Shopping Experience
Problem
Despite aggressive cross-selling mandates, the bank's flagship mobile application lacked native product origination capabilities, forcing millions of users out-of-app to convert. This fragmented architecture severely restricted product discovery, artificially inflating customer acquisition costs and creating massive friction in the digital sales pipeline.
Process
- Competitive Benchmarking
- User Flow Optimization
- Cross-Functional Roadmapping
- Wireframing
- Conversion Rate Strategy
- High-Fidelity Prototyping
Outcome
Architected a seamless, native in-app shopping experience that drastically reduced cart abandonment. The strategic redesign resulted in an immediate 18.3% month-over-month surge in digital account openings, demonstrating measurable Tier-1 revenue impact through optimized digital discovery.
Visual Storytelling Secures Executive Funding
Problem
The Payments product organization possessed a robust strategic roadmap but lacked a compelling executive pitch to secure buy-in and funding. Cross-functional alignment was stalled by dense, uninspiring documentation that failed to translate product vision into compelling business value for the executive committee.
Process
- Voice of the Customer Synthesis
- Collaborative Design Workshops
- High-Fidelity Concepting
- Interactive Narrative Strategy
Outcome
Deployed an emotionally resonant visual storytelling framework that translated complex strategy into clear executive impact. This presentation directly secured project approval and Tier-1 funding from the Head of Digital Banking and the Head of Payments, clearing the gate for the initiative to proceed.
Improving the Missing Pieces Experience for a Furniture Ecommerce Brand
Problem
Critical post-purchase customer journeys were hindered by a convoluted "missing parts" reporting flow, driving unnecessary traffic to costly customer service centers. This friction directly escalated Tier-3 operational overhead, inflated support ticket volumes, and damaged long-term brand equity.
Process
- Service Design Blueprinting
- Support Analytics Integration
- User Flow Optimization
- High-Fidelity Prototyping
- Executive Strategic Pitch
Outcome
Redesigned the post-purchase resolution journey utilizing dynamic shipment QR codes and streamlined self-service flows. This strategic optimization effectively reduces support escalation, lowering call center volume and substantially improving long-term customer satisfaction and loyalty metrics.
Connecting College Students and Local Businesses
Problem
The local university ecosystem lacked a digital bridge connecting the student populace with the surrounding retail economy. This disconnect severely hampered hyper-local marketing strategies for small businesses while simultaneously depressing civic and social engagement within the student body.
Process
- Value Proposition Design
- KPI Orchestration
- Platform Architecture Analysis
- Wireframing
- Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Strategy
Outcome
Engineered a scalable two-sided community platform that organically fostered hyper-local economic activity. The deployment triggered a 23% increase in Daily Active Users (DAU) within two weeks, alongside a 34% increase in session length and a 44% surge in physical event attendance.
Webcast Support Automation for a Federal Research Institute
Problem
The NIEHS public webcasting platform routed playback failures to a small video support desk through a generic email inbox. Frustrated viewers rarely included the diagnostic information the team needed, forcing multiple correspondence cycles on every ticket and escalating Tier 3 operational overhead against a fixed support headcount.
Process
- Stakeholder Interviews
- Ticket Archive Analysis
- JWPlayer API Discovery
- Low Fidelity Wireframe
- Stakeholder Review
- Production Build
- Automated Regression Tests
- Launch Analytics
Outcome
Delivered a self-service diagnostic flow that automatically captured browser, operating system, and player error state at the moment of form submission. Mean time to resolution in Jira fell from 1 hour 43 minutes to 28 minutes, a 73% reduction achieved without adding headcount or replatforming.
