UX UI Designer & Director

Current work

Currently I am the Lead UX Designer at Temenos for our delivery team. My work has allowed me to touch many areas and in the past two years I have worked with almost all of our banking customers. I lead an onshore team of 4 designers and 1 front end developer and lead multiple offshore designers. We work with people in Europe, India, all over the US, as well as in Guatemala. I love solving problems, coming up with processes and supporting my team where I can. I lead by example and the employee is always number one in my book. If my team is happy, they will in return make our customers happy. I also had the chance to work with some commercial customers, such as Dell, Lavazza Professional, as well as some conceptional designs for Hobby Lobby and Girl Scouts.

During a Hackathon within Temenos in Ocotber, my current team and I invented a new product, that has the possibility to change the way we gift and disrupt
a billion-dollar industry. I can’t go into too much detail right now but will be able to after December.

I was the best performer last year in all of our delivery team. I work very closely with our product team on improving our processes between hand off from product team to delivery team, as well as informing the product team on areas we can improve the product, based on our experience with working directly with the client. I strive to improve our internal processes, to work more efficiently and quickly. I work very closely with project managers, business analysts, front end and back end developers, the product team and of course our customers.

ReDesign Concept for Hobby Lobby App with Augmented Reality (AR) integration

The goal for the redesign was to update the UI to be more modern and be able to hold up with the competition but also to introduce new practical features for the users and to organize the content for easier and quicker use.

I introduced the right to left swipe on any screen, so the user is able to pull up the weekly ad at anytime. Also I included the coupon button as the first button in the tab bar, so the user can quickly pull it up while waiting in the check out lane.

I also introduced voice commands. Hobby Lobby has a huge catalog of products and by being able to use your voice to search for a specific item, we cut down the search time dramatically. I also envisioned an Augmented Reality feature that user would use to be able to see picture frames and art work, large furniture and decor items in their home before committing to the purchase. My favorite part about it though is that it helps you navigate through the store and makes it easier for you to find what you are looking for. It would have saved me many hours of time during my college days.

ReDesign Concept for Girl Scouts App with Augmented Reality (AR) integration

We had the opportunity to redesign the Girl Scouts application, in an attempt to gain them as one of our clients. Since their age range of girls starts as early as 5 years old, we envisioned a new way of creating a password. Regular password creation can be complicated, hard to follow the rules and especially hard for a 5 year old to remember some 8+ letter and number and sign combination password.

The idea was to create a more visual password for younger girls, as it is related to the Girl Scouts, which is it fun to create and also easy to remember. I took the Girl Scouts logo as a basis and then a combination of Girl Scouts cookies and Patches with numbers a letters. On hard press of the cookie and the patches, you will also get the name for each, which also helps with memorizing your password.

The app also functions as an event calendar and a way to track who has received which patches, so to integrate some gamification and friendly competition on who collects which patch first. We the help of Augmented Reality, the girls can scan their environment, during their activities to collect their next patch, and see which patch they will be gaining and then see information about the patch and who in their group has received it already.

Monifi’s request was it to create an easy to use Goals Feature, where the user could save for separate goals but also move the money easily around from one goal to another or back into a Checking and Savings account.

The UI is very simple and right from the home screen, you are able to create a new goal and also edit your current goals. We feature up to 3 goals on the home screen and show you your progress right away.

User testing showed that their customers loved this additional feature and found it easy and intuitive to use.
