Project: Lifion’s New Design System

Partnered with Lifion by ADP’s Head of UX and UX Leads to design and implement Lifion’s first Deign System. During the year long project, I coordinated the work of a team of designers and managed two teams of engineers (in New York, Israel, and India), a three month beta period, and a rollout to internal application development teams and external live clients – on schedule with zero downtime. This project

- Replaced the open source components Lifion had used to bootstrap development with a modern, scalable, modular & tokenized styling system.

- Established the foundation to support client branding and geographic theming

- Polished every UX component

- Implemented the design team’s new layout, color, and typography guidelines

Project: FileMaker Script Workspace

Project Outcomes: Re-designed the FileMaker platform's scripting editor to make it look and behave more like a text editor, while still supporting the underlying macro-based language; decreased the learning curve for novice builders; and increased the productivity and efficiency of advanced developers.

"For advanced developers, the most welcomed change in FileMaker Pro is likely to be the redesigned and renamed “script workplace”—in particular, the ability to enter scripts almost entirely from the keyboard... This change doesn’t make a whit of difference to end users, but FileMaker adepts are going to love it."

Project: FileMaker Custom Styles

Project Outcomes: Enabled FileMaker builders to quickly and efficiently design interfaces that are clean, polished, and consistent with end user expectations; and add new elements to layouts while matching an established design.

"In the past, I’d have to reformat every single button on every single layout—work that often took hours. With FileMaker 13, I can just redefine the button style and be done in about 30 seconds. For the first time in my life, I know what Renee Zellweger was thinking when she told Tom Cruise to stop talking in that famous scene in Jerry Maguire — ‘You had me at ‘custom styles.’”
