Plan Bay Area
I led the redesign of this regional transportation platform, managing a designer and earning strong approval from MTC leadership. I extended the brand into a new design system, creating responsive, accessible pages.
Working with Marissa on the AIChE website overhaul was one of the best experiences in my career. Marissa is thoughtful, organized, super creative, and very talented... I highly recommend Marissa in all UX capacities.

Iowa Department of Transportation
Iowa's most-used agency site needed a major restructure. I conducted research, audits, information architecture, training, and migration. The result: 80% less content and clearer paths for users.
