International Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) | Website Redesign + Mobile UI
Challenge: IDCEC required a modern digital experience that improved usability for members while working within a constrained budget. The existing website and member portal needed to better support continuing education tracking, course management, and account access without rebuilding the platform from the ground up.
Solution: As the lead designer, I created a refreshed website and mobile UI that modernized the overall user experience while leveraging the existing infrastructure. By focusing on intuitive navigation, accessibility, and a scalable visual system, I delivered a cost-effective solution that improved usability, streamlined member interactions, and provided a consistent experience across desktop and mobile.
My Role: I led the visual design for the website redesign and mobile application, partnering closely with the UX designer to transform user requirements into intuitive, engaging digital experiences. My responsibilities included art direction, UI design, visual identity development, style guide creation, high-fidelity mockups, and maintaining a cohesive user experience across desktop and mobile platforms while aligning the final design with IDCEC's brand and business objectives.
2025 Website Refresh
Following the success of the original redesign, IDCEC engaged me again in 2025 to refresh the entire website and further enhance the overall digital experience. The goal was to modernize the visual design, improve usability and accessibility, and create a more cohesive, engaging experience while maintaining the existing platform and functionality.
With a large portion of IDCEC's membership consisting of older professionals, accessibility became a key focus of the redesign. I introduced larger, more readable typography, improved colour contrast, incorporated intuitive icons and visual cues, and simplified the page layouts to create a cleaner, more user-friendly experience. These enhancements made it easier for members to find information quickly, navigate the website with confidence, and interact with the platform across all devices.
My Role: As the lead designer for the 2025 website refresh, I reimagined the visual experience across the entire website, developing updated page layouts, refining the design system, and creating a more accessible, intuitive interface. Working closely with stakeholders and developers, I delivered a modern, user-centered website that aligned with IDCEC's evolving brand while better serving the needs of its members.
GO-Train App | UX / UI Design
Problem Statement: How can GO-Train riders who live outside Toronto travelling a long distance everyday in and out of the city guarantee a seat during peak times?
Solution: Two GO-Train cars will be for reserved seating. The train cars closer to the exits. You would need to subscribe to a yearly subscription and pay a premium fee for this service. Therefore, if you are not a subscriber you will not be able to enter the two reserved cars. You will need to use the app to reserve with any mobile device, or by desktop. You can either scan your presto card to enter or scan your device with the ticket code you will be given when you reserve.
Demographic: Ages 18-60 who ride the GO-Train
MY CARE PAL APP | UX / UI Design
Problem: Many Senior citizens refuse to leave their homes to move into a retirement home. Understandably, many wish to hold onto their independence as long as possible. However, when health or other issues start interfering with the ability to manage daily tasks and activities, and seniors or aging parents refuse to ask for and accept help.
Solution: With my CarePal app, you can have a virtual caregiver available 24 hours a day whenever you need them. The CarePal app can set reminders for medications, appointments, daily exercise and track medication, meals, recipes and more. Seniors wear a specially designed wrist watch connected by bluetooth. Vibration notifications are sent through to the wrist watch for seniors who have difficulty with hearing and an audio feature is available for those seniors who have trouble with vision.
Demographic: Ages 65+
