[Current portfolio] Current Portfolio

At my day job at Rocket Mortgage , I build web prototypes and internal tools such as Figma Plugins. I've also pushed production code to Rocket's Design System when the design systems team needs help.

I have also previously built interactive web pages like Square Point of Sale where I've had to coordinate motion and scroll-events across multi-disciplinary teams.

Physical Projects

While the medium is different from my current day job, my experience as a Design Professional at RINKA+ was instrumental to where I am now. Here I learned what it means to be a professional in the design field.

Empathic Futures Lab

Empathic Futures Lab

I used to co-host a podcast with Christian Pepper called Empathic Futures Lab. Over the show's 34 episode run - ending, finally, in 2019 - we explored topics across the displines of design, design technology, and design fiction.

We also put out a couple fun projects under the Empathic Futures Lab moniker including this one called [HELLOWORLD] that explored a future AI-smart home.

Or, if you're looking for more of a traditional take home portfolio, this one linked below will give you a good overall sense of my work.

I put it together in application for UIUC's Alumni Baker Fellowship which I applied for but did not receive.
