I use transdisciplinary research to understand complex problems better, enabling systems to provide the correct information at the right time to guide user behavior
Featured Project
Interoperable Orbital Services
Design Process
I conducted a series of activities across the design process utilizing user research, expert interviews, field observations, and workflow analysis, revealing task improvements that influenced iterating wireframes and mockups used during development to build a functional prototype.
Outcome
Design and research bridged the knowledge gap during sprint cycles providing insights into user and workflow obstacles which enhanced designs to emphasize decision-making, task guidance, and visualizing orbit determinations.
Rocket Communications, Space Domain Contract
The feasibility project explored multiple stand-alone applications sharing tasks to work towards a common goal by establishing an interoperable platform allowing users to view, combine, and utilize different datasets to form new objectives, procedures, and processes.
Featured Project
Embracing Continuous Incremental Progress
Design Process
I conducted research and design activities revealing project obstacles and usability issues preventing community engagement. I utilized heuristic evaluations, workflow audits, user ecosystem mapping, and task analysis to identify process improvements and create iterate mockups for design critiques.
Outcome
Continuous Research provided structure for parallel development tracks to improve current UI and prepare for UX research and design refinement activities.
United States Space Force, Delta 10/ 10FDS, Space Domain
The Space Wiki project aimed to establish a community of practices by improving user engagement by solving usability issues for migrating to a centralized repository.
Design Approach
I utilize transdisciplinary design, an approach for solving complex problems by engaging with communities and combining multiple fields of thoughtful research with design.
The aim is to question and challenge assumptions by finding actionable insights that aligns user needs with business goals.
