Senior Product Designer
MDS 2.0 Design System
Case study- Rebuilt MDS 2.0 as a 57-component Figma system across 40 sections, aligned to Material 3 and Flutter widgets with a single variable architecture mapped to code tokens.
- Designed and coded a repository-backed workspace with outcome-based navigation, a Prototyping Studio, agent-readable Skills, and Code Connect mappings for 48 Flutter components.
MIRA: ML Recommendation Engine for Moly Processing
Case study- Designed operator-review and feed-blend workflows for an ML recommendation engine, plus multi-spec selection and Dutch localization for a five-site production rollout.
- Designed the recommendation workflow for MIRA's first tracked benefit: recommended fresh-ferric addition was roughly 20% below the legacy calculator in a one-week comparison (internal tracking).
RAMP: Remote Asset Management Platform
Case study- Led design from concept through production for alert triage, mobile and fixed-plant workflows, approvals, and direct alert handling that moved required work out of SAP APM.
- Mapped telemetry, alarm logic, SAP APM, Grafana, and RAMP into traceable maintenance workflows, then led RAMP 360 research on cross-system diagnostics.
ServiceNow Platform Redesign
Case study- Led research and design for a company-wide ServiceNow redesign serving a workforce of approximately 28,000; interviewed primary stakeholders and power users, re-architected navigation, and modernized the legacy experience into an employee platform.
