about me
The best work I've done has always been with others. I bring together strategic thinking and thoughtful design to build experiences people genuinely enjoy using.
When I step away from the screen, I love traveling and discovering new places, spending time in nature, exploring interior and furniture design, or enjoying time with my dog, Logan 🐶
Transforming a property-centric platform into a portfolio-level experience — helping asset managers understand health, prioritize properties, and act with confidence.
The platform originally focused on individual properties. But asset managers operate at a portfolio level — their goal is to maximize ROI and cash flow across multiple assets simultaneously.
Without a portfolio view, users had no way to assess overall performance or know where to act first. Every decision required individually analyzing each property, increasing cognitive load and slowing down the workflow significantly.
Before: property list with no portfolio context
The hypothesis: shifting to a portfolio-centric view with actionable insights would enable faster, more confident decisions and drive better portfolio performance overall.
"A portfolio view only creates value if it tells users what to do next — not just where things stand."
Constraints shaped the approach early. Limited user data and tight timelines meant we couldn't rely on collected evidence. Instead, we built a prototype grounded in assumptions and prioritized rapid testing to validate our direction quickly.
Early concepts explored multiple tabs across finance, energy, and construction — a natural starting point for a platform managing multi-dimensional assets. But presenting all dimensions at once added cognitive weight and relied on incomplete data sources.
We narrowed scope to the two areas that mattered most and were best supported by available data: Current State (portfolio health) and Strategy (actionable roadmap).
Portal architecture — portfolio integration mapped in FigJam
User testing and early exploration revealed a critical gap: raw financial metrics felt abstract and hard to act on. The real value was in prioritization — users wanted to know which properties to focus on first to improve ROI and cash flow, not just what the numbers were.
Portfolio strategy — three scenario approaches with investment and decarbonization comparison
The portfolio and strategy features were validated through 8 user testing sessions with asset managers. The roadmap/strategy view consistently emerged as the most valued feature — users appreciated having a clear starting point rather than being presented with all data simultaneously.
User testing sessions documented in Notion — portfolio insights tracking
Prioritization over data. Portfolio-level design adds most value through guidance and ranked action — not by surfacing more raw data. Users trusted the system more when it told them where to start.
Focused scope enables velocity. Narrowing to Current State and Strategy — rather than building all dimensions at once — allowed rapid prototyping and validation under real data constraints.
What's next. Future iterations will extend the portfolio view to commercial properties, refine scenario customization, and deepen the connection between strategy selection and configurator output.
