Medusa Design System
CATEGORY: SYSTEMS DESIGN
Medusa Design System — powering this portfolio and beyond.
As Lead Designer and Creative Director, I created Medusa, a design system that unifies brand, interaction, and implementation for this site and future products.
Medusa defines a cohesive language for color, typography, motion, and components, enabling consistent experiences across web and native surfaces while giving teams room to customize.
Built for flexibility, the system ships with tokenized foundations, reusable patterns, and implementation guidelines, so designers and engineers can move faster without sacrificing craft.
The website you’re seeing now is built on Medusa, a design system crafted around the principles of functionality, harmony, and adaptability.
Inspired by the allure of the deep sea, Medusa immerses users in a flowing space of color continuums and motions. Bold colors draw the eye while negative space invites reflection.
Out-of-the-box, Medusa only breaks the surface of what can be done, for every element — from gradients to typographies — can be adapted for a custom experience.
Plume Data Stories
CATEGORY: DATA VISUALIZATION, INSIGHTS & MARKETING
Plume Data Stories — turning WiFi data into decisions.
As Lead Designer, I partnered with Plume’s Data team to transform complex network telemetry into stories that customers and marketing could act on.
I designed a library of interactive and static visualizations for campaigns, newsletters, and reports, translating technical metrics into clear narratives for non-technical audiences.
These stories helped Plume’s community understand performance, spot issues, and prioritize actions, aligning data, design, and marketing around a shared visual language.
Numbers are nothing without a story. As Lead Designer at Plume, I translated insights from the Data team into impactful visualizations for campaigns, newsletters, and more.
Story formats ranged from interactive illustrations of data to print posters. This visual storytelling enabled Plume’s community to make informed, data-driven decisions: what was working, what was not, and what to do next.
National Geographic Maps
CATEGORY: PRODUCT DESIGN
National Geographic Maps — reimagining exploration for a global audience.
In the wake of a global rebrand, I led product design for National Geographic’s interactive map experience across web and other platforms.
I rebuilt the experience from the ground up: designing new interaction patterns, 3D rendering the map, and integrating archival data from Harvard’s collections into a cohesive, navigable interface.
The result is a scalable mapping system that brings Earth’s spatial, ecological, and geological stories to users’ devices, from high-level exploration to fine-grained detail.
Cue Health
CATEGORY: PRODUCT & SYSTEMS DESIGN
Cue Health — designing a connected diagnostics platform.
As Principal Designer, I led end-to-end product and systems design for Cue’s health monitoring experience across hardware and mobile.
I defined the visual and interaction language for onboarding, testing flows, and results, ensuring that complex diagnostics felt simple, trustworthy, and actionable.
The system’s scalable design language spans flat colors to gradients, aligning app, device, and brand—was used by over 1.7 million users, including organizations like Google, NASA, and the NBA.
Through intuitive visuals and an engaging mobile interface, Cue turns health monitoring into a personalized journey of self-discovery. Users can track their health, understand their diagnostics, and take fast action.
I did end-to-end product design with the overarching goal of creating a simple, consistent, and delightful experience. To maintain visual continuity, Cue’s color system ranges from flat colors to high-contrast gradients for software design.
Designed to scale and integrate both hardware and software, Cue is now trusted by over 1.7 million users, including NASA and the NBA.
Disney World of Color
CATEGORY: WEB DESIGN
I created a website for Disney World of Color, a show combining Disney stories with displays of water jets, pyrotechnics, fog, and high-definition projections.
With cascading colors, textures, and 3D graphics, I built an on-screen experience to capture the show’s magic and inspire visitors to see the show in person.
