A complete redesign for Willard Jones Real Estate, a small commercial real estate firm operating in downtown Chicago. The one glowing feature that the previous site design boasted was its ease of use. People often complimented that it was easy to find the information they were searching for. As a result the redesign focused on giving the brand and website a refreshed look and feel without taking away from the simplicity and ease of use that users enjoyed.

In addition, I moved the website to a more dynamic environment by using Wordpress. This enables the company to more easily make changes and maintain the website themselves.

Local Guide was a mobile application designed to cater to users who traveled to new cities and needed a way to easily find activities, events and restaurants in unfamiliar locations.

I focused on fundamental UI patterns when conceptualizing the design. I then iterated on this design using Google's Material Design standards and guidelines to create a final cohesive layout.

Imagine you're planning a party or reception, but aren't sure what music to play. What better way to find out what music your guests will enjoy than creating a playlist that actual attendees can edit and vote on? That is why a mobile web service called Uni-Fi was created. Uni-Fi makes use of the Spotify API to source music information and previews.

My primary responsibilities involved working with the platform Meteor JS and coding the app. Meteor was selected because the application required a database in order for a playlist to be shared and edited by multiple users.
