03 / PORTFOLIO CONCEPTS & REDESIGNS

Space to explore.
Room to rethink.

Concept projects exploring interaction, visual design and digital journeys across travel, shopping and mobile ordering.

These are portfolio concepts and redesign explorations. They are presented separately from professional work and do not imply client commissioning or production adoption.

THE THREAD THROUGH THE WORK

Different projects.
A shared curiosity.

I’m interested in what people need, how information is organized and what makes an experience easier to understand.

  • Start with the audience and the task.
  • Look at content, structure and interaction together.
  • Make important information easier to find.
  • Use consistent patterns to reduce friction.
  • Turn observations into practical next steps.

These questions also shape my consulting work across analytics, audience journeys and digital strategy.
