Projects

Onboarding increases setup completion by 70%

The old app onboarding experience was vague and lacked support. I advocated for iterations to help users by adding tips which include videos for deep dives into the setup for those who wanted extra help. The checklist pops up on subsequent logins with the last step helping users set up their first task, showing them the value with a helping hand.See More

Sales Research Automation

The Google Chrome Extension allows users to capture prospect data via LinkedIn an import into a full profile that shows a research report including public web data on each prospect. Lightning fast prospect research time is a gamechanger! This search engine to automate sales prospect research, saves 2+ hours of manual research per prospect. See More

App Redesign Cuts User Time by 50%

Trender which once functioned similar to a social media app, needed an Information Architecture overhaul when it pivoted to a sales app. Through competitive analysis and talking to users, I chose a design pattern based on a CRM format. This cut user's in-app time in half, increased flexibility, and removed unnecessary distractions so users could focus on their deals.See More
