Amber Engine Product Information Management SaaS Application
2020 to Present
The Amber Engine Product Information Management (PIM) platform gives a brand a unified, cloud-based SaaS framework where they can collect all their product data and assets, from a multitude of sources. They can then spend time refining and correcting their data using advanced tools and insights, and connecting as many additional insights and assets as needed. Finally... and perhaps most importantly in PIMs... is the ability to then syndicate that data to multiple marketplaces and endpoints without redoing work. I started redesigning this PIM the day I arrived at Amber Engine, and the small amount of screens below reflect some of the work we did.
Doing UX Design consulting for a venerable financial software company, I spent 2019 streamlining and refining the company's CPQ software ecosystem. This included the front-end product catalog and configurators, a companion mobile application, and the back-end catalog-building framework.
This is a section of a much larger wire framing iteration for a financial software company. I spent most of 2019 as a consulting UX Designer, redesigning and reflowing their existing software suite. This shows their primary CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) product...
...and then here are corresponding mobile wireframes. This is a majority of the application. Both desktop and mobile wireframes were created exclusively by me.
Designed for Ford's 2014 Autoshow, I designed this multi-screen kiosk that allowed visitors to view color and trim packages on each vehicle. One of these kiosks was mounted beside each vehicle, using a specially-configured Android Tablet.

Ford Autoshow 4D Mobile app
2013
I concepted and wireframed Ford's 2014 4D mobile app, which consisted of a number of smaller apps. Different activities throughout the show were triggered by a 4D QR code scan
Voyr was a prototype paid social media platform that would start with a small group of celebrities and exclusive influencers, allowing them to better monetize their experiences. It was designed in cooperation with Kanye West
Beam Telepresence Robots Control and Management software (Suitable Technologies)
2013 to 2018
Beams are remote telepresence devices, akin to Zoom-on-wheels. I designed and updated the front-end piloting application, the mobile versions of such, and the online back-end fleet management application. The designs here illustrate a new direction I was pushing the ecosystem, toward a more modern and collaborative experience.
We added an "Easy login" feature to help new users onboard more quickly, especially for Beam test drives. The existing user onboarding forced people to watch a long safety video as well as a protracted account creation before being able to try a Beam. This new process meant much less attrition. This Journey Map helped us visualize the issues at hand.
Our latest product, the Beam Pro 2, would have a touchscreen. After meeting with stakeholders and customers, we whittled down the featureset for v1 deployment. These wireframes outline the complete set of features.
This is a sample of a document I created, outlining requirements, goals, and path for one of Beam's features.

Comdex Virtual Tradeshow (UBM)
2011
Comdex was a computer conference that had been around since the 80's, and acquired by UBM in the mid-2000's. It was now a smaller live conference with a much larger virtual attendance.
