Highlights
In collaboration with my PM and development team I led the redesign of Vacasa’s home listing pages. The goal of the project was to reduce bounce rate and incorporate new features bringing, the site to parity with other popular online travel sites.
2022
I streamlined our internal design process. By transitioning the site mapping and wireframing process out of a paid application into Adobe Xd I was able to remove 10+ hours of repetitive work. I also designed flexible components that could be used in a variety of situations to cut down on development time.
2021
I led the integration of WCAG accessibility standards into our team workflow. I created a comprehensive guide with examples and help links that explained the different levels and their associated rules. I also created digestible content for our social media accounts and blog to educate the agency’s clients about the importance of accessibility.
