Projects

Improving the MTA Employee Portal

The MTA employee portal was outdated, causing a slow down in employee work. In this project, I lead user research to find key insights on areas of improvement for the website. I also redesigned important sections of the site including the top & bottom navigation bars.See More

The Weee! grocery delivery app did not have as many users as I'd excepted. I designed a new "Meal Planning" feature which aims to bring more people to the app for longer periods of time. See More
