A jobs platform for Paraguay
ABC is one of the largest newspapers in Paraguay. ABC Empleos is its new jobs platform, connecting candidates with recruiters across the country. As lead designer I worked on both the candidate facing portal and the recruiter platform. Over three months we went from zero to a live MVP through interviews and workshops with recruiters and several rounds of prototyping. The first version is in production with real applications coming in and strong early numbers.

Redesigning Register Tables
ecoPortal is an enterprise health and safety platform used by large, regulated organizations across New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. Register Tables are where they track incidents and audits: tens of thousands of records, behind filters that gave no context and only matched exact text. I led the redesign end to end, from research through to a React rebuild that replaced the legacy Angular view. The release saw over 60% adoption and strong positive feedback from Customer Success. I went on to design the reporting dashboards the customer below is talking about.

“My reporting's gone from a basic pie graph to… trend analysis across a whole entire year, which just gives way more insight. I love the new dashboards, and they're really easy to put together as well.”
Redesigning a Video Player
Sardius Media, a Kansas City startup, builds video streaming and online event platforms for large event organizers. I led the end-to-end redesign of its video player, grounded in user testing. A year after I left, they brought me back to redesign their website.
A selection of brand design for different organizations
I've always enjoyed branding work, as a side practice and at Heartburst in Melbourne. These projects range from nonprofits to tech companies and beyond.
A note
Jobs boards, safety platforms, video tools, investment apps: software people open because they need it. I care about how it feels in use. The transition that tells you where you went, the empty state that tells you what to do next, the line of copy that saves a support ticket.
Remote since 2017, with teams in the US and New Zealand since 2021, plus a year in-house at an agency in Melbourne. Home is Asunción, and Paraguay keeps New York's hours. English fluent, Spanish native.
This site is hand-built in Next.js, and the ink in the hero is a WebGL shader written from scratch. I prototype the same way: in code, because Figma gives you stills and the product is a film.
