Minor UX (User Experience) Design Projects - expedient redesigns and implementations
Technology Domain One-Pager
(Fidelity Investments -Apr 2025)
An internal technology domain needed a clear, concise way to communicate its scale, impact, and direction to 3,000 associates during a company-wide webinar.
I designed two one-pager summary slide options highlighting the domain’s scope, active teams, and business impact to support leadership in delivering a clear strategic update.
Program Initiative One-Pager
(Fidelity Investments -Mar 2025)
We needed a clear, compelling way to inspire broader company adoption of the Digital Priorities approach to building cross-business unit experiences.
I designed three visually engaging one-pager slide options that summarized the project background, goals, and direction, serving as a call to action for company-wide alignment.
End-of-year Program Summary
(Fidelity Investments -Dec 2024)
There was a need to clearly demonstrate how cross-business efforts under the Digital Priorities program positively impacted associates and enhanced customers’ digital experiences.
I designed four engaging slides highlighting how key decisions led to foundational capability breakthroughs, resulting in the development of cohesive, customer-focused digital experiences for an end-of-year update.
Program Initiative One-Pager
(Fidelity Investments -Nov 2024)
Teams lacked a clear, up-to-date overview of the Digital Priorities program.
I designed seven one-page infographic slides to clearly communicate the latest version (v4) of the program, making key information easily accessible and visually engaging.
One-Stop Shop Documentation for Capability Ownership and Management
(Fidelity Investments -Jun 2024)
A lengthy technical architecture document was difficult to manage and complete, limiting visibility into organizational ownership and key capability details.
I redesigned it into a user-friendly, fillable OneNote form to streamline data collection across ownership, tech management, and planning, supporting both organizational mapping and offsite preparation.
I used design techniques like a readability analyzer, added examples, role-specific guidance, and time estimates to ensure clarity and ease of completion.
One-Stop Shop Tracker for Capability Ownership and Management
(Fidelity Investments -May 2024)
Lack of visibility into team ownership and program progress hindered efficient cross-business development.
I built an automated Excel tracker to monitor ownership assignments and track program milestones, ensuring accountability and steady progress.
Monthly New-Demo Newsletter
(Fidelity Investments -Jan 2024)
Teams had limited visibility into cross-business feature releases and milestones.
We launched a newsletter campaign to showcase cross-business demos and key updates, serving as the primary communication channel to engage over 600 team members.
Program Initiative One-Pager
(Fidelity Investments -Oct 2023)
Teams desired clarity on how to collaborate across business units, to avoid disjointed efforts and the development of inconsistent digital customer experience.
In partnership with a research team, a case study and presentation was created, outlining clear steps for cross-business collaboration, including team organization, decision-maker alignment, integrated communication strategies and more.
One-Stop Shop for Digital-Related Vocabulary
(Fidelity Investments -Dec 2022)
Internal teams used inconsistent or unclear digital terminology, leading to misalignment and confusion across projects and communications.
I designed an internal site to clarify digital terms and definitions, aligning teams with a shared understanding and reducing confusion across initiatives.
Cross Business, Product Development Initiative
(Fidelity Investments -Jun 2022)
Many products are developed and delivered in isolation, leading to fragmented customer experiences in managing their financial assets—how can we clearly convey this issue to internal teams?
I created presentation assets that clearly explained the customer impact (the WHY), showcased examples of successful outcomes, and provided actionable steps for teams.
A Digital Finance KPI Tracker
(Fidelity Investments -Aug 2020)
Eliminate the need for spreadsheets and modernize the KPI (Key Performance Indicator) intake and viewership process
By incorporating the Fidelity Providence design system and separating the Viewing and Creating a KPI view into tabs, I was able to utilize show/hide techniques to assist users to operate the site.
Internal Data Manipulation Tool
(Fidelity Investments - Dec 2019)
Migrate the existing Bootstrap look and feel to the newest Providence 2.0 Design System look and feel
Coached and mentored the team interns on Design Thinking, Responsive Design, and UX Development to fulfill this redesign.
A Crowdsourced Trading Platform
(Fidelity Investments - Oct 2019)
"I want to manage my financial life in one place, and be able to get planning and advice in a way that makes the most sense for me. The problem is, I don't have a way to do this [with the current offerings]" (UX Challenge - open to wildcard submissions)
I and a team of 2 other UX designers created mock-ups for a fictional platform where individuals can discover expert stock traders, review, and decide to follow their trading decisions.
A Quick Summary of the Latest Code Deployment
(Fidelity Investments -Jan 2019)
The team’s build pipeline emails are sporadic and are being ignored; Redesign a more attention-grabbing and easily consumable email
Using color and typographic hierarchy, I emphasized the important information developers should pay attention to; I also reformatted dates and name syntaxes for easier readability.
Modern Transcription and Note-Taking for Meetings
(Palmer -Jan 2018)
11 million meetings happen daily in the US, employees attend approximately 62 1-hour meetings per month and productivity is hindered by the difficulty of taking notes while listening attentively and actively participating in meetings
As part of a startup team of 5, we designed Palmer, a portable digital assistant for the meeting space, this device will record meetings to transcribe the audio, create action Items, and more.
PDF to Text Converter
(NC State Student team - Sep 2017)
Incorporate OCR (Optical Character Reader) into a web app to read a PDF
For this minor project, I designed a couple of options for the front page of the PDF Reader. With a custom-chosen set of colors, the intent was to make the uploading/action experience easy and intuitive.
Changing Lives, One Pulse at a Time
(PulseSOx - Feb 2017)
Millions of people around the world suffer from preventable diabetic-related amputations, design a solution to help mitigate this problem
As an intern, part of an entrepreneur class at NC State, I helped curate a brand, logo, and multiple graphics to represent the company and its mission. I also designed the information architecture and UI layout for the intended iOS app.

Wi-Fi Enabled, Remote Controlled Car
(Magic Smoke - Nov 2016)
Navigate an obstacle course under an allotted given time, and complete a self-driving obstacle to follow a black line.
To efficiently navigate the course in a timely manner, I designed an iOS app with a direction pad, preprogrammed with Wi-Fi commands to control my custom microcontroller car.
A Basic Four-Function Calculator with a Twist
(ECE 309 - Object Oriented Programming for Electrical and Computer Engineering - Aug 2016)
Evaluate an entered algebraic expression of arbitrary complexity
Our team of two built a simple-to-use Java app where math expressions are entered in the bottom input box; When evaluated, a status message is displayed below the input box, whilst the expression and solution are appended to the history - the top black display section.
