Case studies from government, defense, healthcare, and enterprise — where good design changes lives.
NOAA Global Systems Laboratory
A decision-support workspace for National Weather Service forecasters that turns a live weather picture into an issued product and a partner briefing without ever leaving the map. Public research build shipped 10 releases in 14 weeks.
NOAA Global Systems Laboratory · National Weather Service
The platform that tells a National Weather Service forecaster what the forecast means for one partner's event — a stadium, an airport, a wildfire crew — before the weather arrives. I have led its design since 2023, from a research prototype to a national release across 120+ forecast offices. It is the direct ancestor of AWARE.
Self-initiated · NOAA Global Systems Laboratory context
A browser-only viewer for NetCDF model output. Drop a 220 MB forecast grid on the page and its field is on a 3D globe in under a second — no Python, no server, and the file never leaves the machine. Around 2,250 lines across 14 modules, built solo in two concentrated agent-paired sessions five months apart.
Self-initiated · iOS field kit
An offline-first iPhone app for planning radio communications on trips where the phone network is gone — primary, alternate and emergency channels, a rotating codebook, and a field mode you can read in direct sun or by red light. Its central design decision is a refusal: the app never lets "your radio can tune this" pass for "you are allowed to transmit here."
The Gardner's Inc. · Greater Thurston County, WA
A family landscaping company with 45 years of work behind it, and a Wix site that showed none of that work and had no way to request a quote. I redesigned and rebuilt it in one week, from brief to launch, around a single job: turn a visitor into a qualified quote request. The owners report a 200% increase in outreach and conversions since launch.
Wicked Oni studio clients · NOAA GSL · Tigerpaw
Identity and print work from Wicked Oni, the studio I've run since 2015, and from inside organizations with brands of their own. Three complete brand systems with written guidelines, label and packaging work, marks for NOAA programs, logos for food, retail, and outdoor brands, illustration and art prints, and campaign art for a software company, down to the flyers and posters.
A Major Beverage Conglomerate
Replaced a legacy Windows desktop application with a modern React-based pricing tool, cutting task completion time by 40% for 200+ internal users.
A Defense Technology Contractor
Designed a common operating picture dashboard for combatant command workflows, enabling real-time situational awareness across distributed teams under strict security constraints.
A National Health Enterprise
Redesigned a clinician-to-patient platform across web and mobile, delivering a unified design system that improved appointment completion rates by 28%.
A Mid-Market Financial Services Firm
Designed a real-time executive analytics platform that replaced a 12-hour manual reporting cycle with live dashboards, reducing executive decision latency from days to minutes.
An Industrial Cybersecurity Company
Three acquisitions in four years had left one company running five websites' worth of story on a single domain. I rebuilt the message architecture, the information architecture, and the conversion path around the person who actually starts the search — and demo requests from organic went up 2.4x.
A Global Precision Components Manufacturer
Eleven plants, eleven websites, and a quote form that estimators dreaded. I rebuilt the capabilities story around what a procurement engineer actually types into a search bar, and turned the RFQ from a form into the start of a conversation.
