Sunfare

I did loads of work on the Sunfare website, both from a design perspective and from a UI/UX/QA/PM perch. While I never built the site code-wise, I oversaw the developers responsible for the user experience, managed all new functionality initiatives, and worked heavily with the database programmer to ensure back-end reliability. One of the unique feature sets of the Sunfare site was meal management and selection; not only did I collaborate on designing the interface across programs, I was central to ensuring the site worked as intended, front to back, end to end.

Derive

Derive was hired to overhaul Sunfare's proprietary, enterprise-level business management software. A heavy lift for all involved. I was tasked with defining and translating legacy features into sprint-worthy segments that could be digested by an off-shore team and refactored into a new, scalable, and modern architecture and interface. I also provided extensive QA and UI/UX feedback for each iteration of the development process. The assets below show just one small example of a clean wireframe for reference, a markup of that wireframe to detail desired functionality (in a format requested by the dev team), and notes from live testing in a pre-production/staging environment. A design overlay would have come after functional requirements were met.

The rub is that, unfortunately, this project never came to fruition. And even though that stings a little, I wanted to include it here because I'm proud of the work we did on it, that I did on it, and it was a tremendous learning experience, both in terms of professional development and as a cautionary tale. My hat's off to the talented group that worked hard to bring this one home.

Kansas State University

Sponsored by the Kansas State Research and Extension office, Walk Kansas is a web-based, health and fitness application that promotes exercise, nutrition, and well-being, with a focus on walking. Users can log miles, water, fruits/veg, and weight training as they work their way across an interactive map with teams of up to six people. I paired with Square Lines for this project and handled interface design, user experience for both paid users and back-end admins, and lots and lots... and lots... of QA. Sure, I know it's looking a little (okay, a lot) dated, but we're engaged with KSRE to rebuild it from the groud up for 2026. You better believe I'll post it here when it's complete!

MedCrush

A sweet little web app and another Square Lines project, MedCrush was basically a styled up, searchable database that was developed to help medical professionals and caregivers understand the effects of crushing specific medications. Users could create accounts, choose between paid and free tiers, search for medications, and learn about their crushability or lack thereof. I was responsible for design, UI/UX, and QA.
