01Employment · Healthper USA2024 – now

Healthper

One designer, every surface, one system

Healthper’s product, brand, campaigns, website and client reports had each grown their own look, and the brand red failed accessibility contrast. I audited every touchpoint and built one design system for all of them to draw from.

05Employment · EAMA Inc.2022 – 2024

Beacon Path Mortgage

A licensing disclosure as the reason to trust

Mortgage broker sites bury trust under boilerplate compliance text. I rebuilt one from the ground up, with brand, research, design system and a React front end, and made Ontario’s required disclosure part of the trust story.
