      <image:title>Portfolio - Wells Fargo - Design Decision 1: Consolidating Fragmented Workflows</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many core tasks were spread across multiple screens and systems, forcing staff to jump between views and re-enter information. I consolidated these flows, reducing navigation overhead and eliminating redundant steps.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Wells Fargo - Design Decision 2 Optimizing for Speed and Accuracy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Frontline staff often worked under time pressure while assisting customers. Interfaces that required excessive scanning or interpretation increased the risk of errors. The UI was redesigned to focus on critical information earlier, group related actions, and reduce visual noise. This helped staff complete transactions more efficiently.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Wells Fargo - Design Decision 3 Working with Salesforce Constraints</image:title>
      <image:caption>Salesforce imposed structural and interaction constraints that limited layout flexibility. Rather than fighting the platform, I designed reusable patterns that worked within Salesforce’s system, ensuring consistency and predictable behavior. This approach reduced implementation friction and made designs easier to build and maintain across teams.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - LSEG - Design Decision 1: Progressive Disclosure</image:title>
      <image:caption>Early explorations exposed too much data simultaneously, which slowed comprehension. I explored alternative hierarchy models and applied progressive disclosure to reveal secondary information only when needed. This preserved analytical depth while allowing users to reach key insights faster.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - LSEG - Design Decision 2 Complement, Not Replicate</image:title>
      <image:caption>Early in the project, it became clear that mobile screen sizes could not comfortably accommodate the same volume and density of information as the desktop experience. Mobile experience was intentionally designed to complement the desktop rather than compete with it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - LSEG - Design Decision 3 Designing for “On-the-Move”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Based on the research, the mobile experience was optimized for glanceable, context-relevant data, surfacing the most time-sensitive information upfront and deferring detailed exploration to secondary interactions or desktop workflows. It helped users to stay informed quickly and efficiently in short sessions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - LSEG - Design System Contribution</image:title>
      <image:caption>I contributed patterns and components back into the shared design system, improving consistency across features and reducing duplicated design effort across teams. This helped new functionality ship faster while maintaining a coherent experience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Macy's - Design Decision 1: Reducing Friction in Flows</image:title>
      <image:caption>Analysis identified friction points in product discovery and checkout that slowed decision-making and increased abandonment. I simplified information hierarchy, clarified primary actions, and reduced unnecessary steps in purchase-critical flows. It contributed to an increase in conversion and improved flow completion rates.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Macy's - Design Decision 2 Supporting Faster Purchase Decisions</image:title>
      <image:caption>User behavior showed that shoppers needed clearer signals to evaluate products quickly. Design updates focused on surfacing essential information earlier, reducing visual noise, and making next steps more obvious. This helped increase engagement and supported significant growth in new buyers across tested experiences.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Glenwell Group - Design Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>Given the scope and constraints, the focus was on: Prioritizing core workflows over secondary features Designing flexible patterns that could adapt as requirements evolved Making deliberate tradeoffs to ship usable functionality quickly</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Glenwell Group - Designing for Focus Over Feature Breadth</image:title>
      <image:caption>Early concepts included a wide range of functionality, but delivering everything upfront would have slowed adoption and increased complexity. I narrowed the initial scope to the most critical workflows, allowing the platform to launch sooner and evolve based on real usage.</image:caption>
