CLOUDTECH
CASE STUDY 1
CONTEXT
01
CloudTech is a platform designed for MSPs that allows users to buy, sell, and manage cloud services for their customers. They came to us with ambitious goals to move their current out-of-date website to newer & faster software, including a complete UI Refactor.
Timeline: 1.5 Years
Role: UX/UI Designer
PROBLEM
02
CloudTech has a fully workable platform built entirely by different developers over time. While still a very successful company - there was no design team, no design system, & no user research to back up decisions. Their early designs lacked UX/UI features that are key to a seamless experience for their users.
With big ideas & ambitious dreams, CloudTech asked us to help them refactor their platform and get them in line with other competitors in the Cloud marketplace.
SOLUTION

ATTUNE
CASE STUDY 2
CONTEXT
01
A cancer patient support app designed to build community, find support & manage their stress.
The goal was to help Blue Note Therapeutics complete their cancer patient support app on an accelerated schedule, enabling them to lock-in Series A funding and fast-tracking their product for FDA approval.
Timeline: 1 Year
Role: UX/UI Designer
PROBLEM
02
Digital therapeutics company Blue Note and its team of cancer doctors, patients, and researchers had started designing a mobile app to deliver a clinically tested stress management program.
Their early designs lacked features to help users connect. Due to lack of features, user engagement was low. We needed to figure out how to build community, support, and trust in a digital environment.

Built a journal tool to allow users to write down their thoughts and feelings throughout
the day. At the end of the program, users can download their whole journal to refer to
growmotif
CASE STUDY 3
CONTEXT
01
A life-saving app for mamas & babies. Partnered with the University of Oregon to turn a neuroscience-backed prenatal support program into a scalable mobile app for underserved pregnant people.
Timeline: 4-6 months
Role: UI Designer
Nearly half of pregnant women in the US are on Medicaid, and this low-income group has a significantly elevated risk for birth-related complications. TrueMotif, a social impact startup took an aim at these disparities with a program targeting the primary determinants of poor birth outcomes: prenatal stress, and unhealthy prenatal behaviors.
With proof of concept, the team asked to turn GrowMotif into a user-ready app they could use to test and deliver this game-changing program.
02
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
03
Business-focused —
Released Android mobile app “GrowMotif” on Google Play Store in preparation for pilot study, paving the way for national WIC rollout.
Robust yet flexible infrastructure primed to be adapted for other health coaching applications under client’s umbrella
Design-focused —
Built an engaging chatbot-led virtual counseling experience that authentically simulates messaging with a real person
Created UI components from scratch and worked around client’s needs
Built an Android app in which an avatar counselor would lead users though prenatal support sessions. The client emphasized that they wanted users to feel like they were having a genuine conversation with Dr. Lightcap - a departure from typical chatbot experiences. To accomplish this, we identified, designed, tested, and refined features that mimicked the feeling of a real person-to-person text conservations
Faith is amazing to work with. Not only does she have fantastic ideas, but she is very patient in listening to what ideas other people have.
