I design digital experiences that stay human, even as the systems behind them grow more complex.

Presence Status Redesign

I redesigned the GoTo app’s presence status experience inside the avatar menu to support a Do Not Disturb (DND) timer and make Auto-update more discoverable and easier to return to, so the upcoming Schedule feature could work reliably.

Company: GoTo (Business Communication & IT Support Software)
Role: Lead UX researcher + designer
Tools: Figma · Miro · UserTesting · Mixpanel

Impact at a glance:

  • +11.6pp lift in users returning to Auto-update after manually changing their status (86% improvement)
  • +2.3k users/month sustaining that behavior post-launch
  • 1.6x more likely to use the new one-tap status reset than to manually navigate back to Auto-update

Rick’s Portal Gun

I built a functional replica of Rick and Morty’s Portal Gun as a Milieux Institute fellow, integrating 3D modeling, 3D printing, soldering, and Arduino programming into a single working prototype, to explore how imagination, design, and engineering intersect in the maker world.
