Within the customer servicing domain, I contributed to Empath, the platform that thousands of agents use to triage issues and look up information for millions of customers.

As a Product Design Intern, I designed and prototyped a Chrome extension projected that engages 80,000+ users today. This involved conducting user research to identify friction points, creating detailed user flows and mockups, and applying industry best practices in visual and user interface design. I also utilized JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to build a fully functional proof of concept that demonstrated the extension’s potential impact on user engagement.
Michigan Fishing
