An online brokerage was developing a mobile app for trading and wanted to integrate scans as a feature.

Scans are dynamically generated lists of trading instruments that meet specific criteria, reducing the need for analysis to find trading opportunities.

How could we help users to trade better through integrating scans?

I was engaged by GNR8R to completely redesign and rebuild carsandjobs.com, a Canadian national automotive jobs and education site.

I was responsible for overhauling the design, structure and layout of the site. In addition, I was took charge of front-end development and directed an external team of back-end developers.

Traders are increasingly using automated trading, whereby the trader defines rules by which a trading platform automatically trades on their behalf.

Because of this, as part of their new mobile trading platform, a brokerage wanted to explore possible ways of integrating automated trading.

How could we empower users to become better traders through automation?

An online brokerage underwent a rebranding; as part of this I was engaged to redesign some of their marketing sites, in the process laying some groundwork for a new design system to go with the new branding.

I redesigned two sites, creating common components in the process for reuse across mobile and desktop, with accessible dark and light modes.

On behalf of Xequals, I oversaw the design and development of a responsive web app for Remarkit, an IT equipment recycling company.

Remarkit needed a portal for their clients, including major telecommunications businesses, to manage the reselling of refurbished devices such as smartphones and tablets.

I helped scope the solution and was responsible for wireframing, some visual prototyping and all the front-end development, in liasion with a developer from Remarkit who built the back-end.

Key features of this app include ordering and order tracking, reporting and custom client theming. It is fully responsive, to be accessible both on-site and in the office.

In the absence of any tools on the market fulfilling their needs, EightyOne got me to design and develop a time management tool for OS X.

Specifically, they needed a simple yet powerful tool which would enable each of their employees and freelancers to easily track their time worked against any given job and upload timesheet entries to WorkflowMax.

Through ongoing discussions with the future users, I created wireframes and iterated functionality and layout to suit their needs.

The final application makes it easy for users to track just the jobs that are relevant to them, even when working with other applications. With just two clicks they can track time against a job. The application adapts to the user’s workflow with a range of display and behaviour options, and automatically resolves network issues so the user does not need to worry about the backend.

In partnership with Xequals, I worked a cross-platform mobile game called State Asset Wars. Inspired by the popular trading game Dope Wars, it puts a dark satirical spin on national and international politics.

On this project I spearheaded the UX design, wireframing and prototyping and the screens. Functional prototypes were user tested with friends and acquaintances.

I was also responsible for development of the UI, and providing creative direction on that front.
