Graham’s Fine Chocolates — E-commerce UX Optimization for Corporate Ordering
At Graham’s, I worked across digital experience, branding, and daily business operations to improve the customer journey for e-commerce, corporate gifting, and in-store ordering.
I audited the existing WooCommerce site, identified friction points in navigation and product discovery, and designed Figma wireframes for a stronger corporate gifting experience. I also collaborated with developers on quick-win updates like clearer product descriptions, improved imagery, and UI enhancements.
Working directly with customers through in-store, phone, and custom orders helped ground my design decisions in real needs, business constraints, and operational flow.
KinetiCare: Emergency Disaster Relief Response Trailer
KinetiCare is a mobile medical triage system designed for rapid deployment in disaster-stricken areas across the Midwest. Developed as a hybrid product concept between Airstream and Stryker, the project combines streamlined mobility with clinical functionality to support first responders in high-stress environments.
The system rethinks the traditional emergency trailer by integrating patient intake, treatment, and transport into one compact deployable unit. Key features include a rear-loading ramp for gurney access, a streamlined triage bed, and an integrated monitoring system.
The design language blends Airstream’s approachable, aerodynamic form with Stryker’s medical precision, creating a solution that feels durable, efficient, and trustworthy.
HelioDome: Solar-Heated Park Pavilion
HelioDome is a solar-powered micro-pavilion designed to provide year-round comfort in public outdoor spaces. Built around a geodesic dome structure, the project focuses on extruded aluminum members to create a lightweight, modular, and structurally efficient system.
Photovoltaic triangular panels generate energy to power integrated lighting and radiant heating, allowing the pavilion to offer shade in warmer months and warmth in colder ones. HelioDome brings together renewable energy, modular construction, and human-centered design in one cohesive public space solution.
