Type: Digital Wellbeing website and interactive self-evaluation tool

Client: Google + external agency, Instrument

Date: May 2019

Description: I worked with Google product marketing managers and external agency partner, Instrument on the redesign and launch of the Digital Wellbeing website and an interactive self-evaluation tool. The website features stories, tips and tools to help people find their own balance with technology. The goal was to re-contextualize Google’s commitment to digital wellbeing through actionable goals, tips and inspirational videos. A section for families features a shareable/downloadable Family Discussion Guide to break down some of the biggest challenges families face with technology into 6 discussion topics and practical tips. For people who want to get right down to business, we integrated all the tips and tools into an interactive self-evaluation tool. Users can swipe through an eight-step questionnaire (desktop and mobile platforms supported) and evaluate their relationship with technology in a touch-activated dial. The resulting tips are curated based on the user’s responses.

Type: ForestMapper. An interactive web application featuring ancient and endangered forests

Client: GreenInfo Network + Canopy

Date: April - December 2017

Description: GreenInfo Network visualizes and communicates information for organizations working in non profit and public interest sectors. The Canadian non profit, Canopy wanted an interactive mapping tool to help their stakeholders identify over 36 data layers involving ancient forests, climate change, and at-risk species critical to their work. ForestMapper is used to bring together fashion brands, suppliers, and conservation organizations to help create sustainable supply chains and identify areas of potential sourcing risk. On this project, I managed the research, data acquisition, design, and build of ForestMapper with a full stack developer and interaction designer. I was the lead contact between the client, Canopy and GreenInfo. I lead meetings, created timelines, identified risks and negotiated change orders and rates as needed. I developed and refined basic UX principles and wireframes in consultation with clients and the project team and made sure the overarching goal and progress was clearly communicated throughout the lifecycle of the project.

I worked with State Parks staff and administrators and Trailhead Labs engineers, to create user testing materials, develop the marketing strategy, timeline, and social media campaign. I designed the pilot program website and marketing assets. I used Google Analytics (for in-app use), Twitter analytics and bit.ly to track app adoption, promotions, and user engagement.
