UI/UX Designer

Clean Intuitive Designs

Over the last decade I've cultivated a strong and experienced skillset working with a small group of designers in an agile environment across a broad suite of products.

With a background in computer science, I speak engineer and can effectively act as a bridge between the users needs, product management, and engineering.

Feedback on my work

“My libraries using BLUEcloud Acquisitions were shocked at how easy it was. AND I had the most change-reluctant staff gush about BCAcq Receiving.”

Melissa Klein - ILS Specialist - Winnefox Library System
In reference to BLUEcloud Circulations: “When I saw how easy it was to use and how my workflow was so much quicker, it was a done deal and I haven’t stopped using it since.”

“Thank you! I’m absolutely giddy at how well that went over. You accomplished in an hour what I’ve been trying to argue for months :)”

My Work

The software I designed connects over 300 million people with information and resources at more than 23,000 academic, public, school, government and corporate library facilities in over 70 countries.

Here's a small sampling:

Discovery for Academic Libraries

In today's fast-paced academic landscape, the need for efficient and intuitive search tools is paramount. This responsive discovery tool revolutionizes the way students, teachers, and academic researchers navigate extensive library collections. My designs empower users with a seamless, user-friendly interface designed to search journals and articles swiftly and accurately.

Library Content Acquisitions

Modernizing the library procurement process: The goal was a comprehensive solution designed to streamline the selection, ordering, and management of both physical and digital content. Tailored for librarians, this tool handles every step of the acquisition process, from initial selection through to end-of-year financial reporting.

Circulations

The circulation desk is the front line of the library, a dynamic bustling hub where librarians must manage the constant flow of patrons and materials. Consequently, the software that backs them up must be as robust and efficient as they are.
