Modernized Mobile (MoMo)

Role: UX/UI Design Contractor (Multi-Project Startup Lead) Duration: January 2019 – March 2020 (concurrent/off-and-on) Location: Gainesville, FL / Remote

I worked as a design contractor for an agency that incubated early-stage startups, handling design for 12+ ventures across social, retail, and finance.

What I did

  • Rapid MVPs: took ideas from discovery to a clickable prototype fast, often in days rather than weeks.
  • Lean scoping: with tight budgets and deadlines, I'd find the one user path that proved the idea and designed that first.
  • Pitch-ready visuals: built the visual identity and interfaces founders needed to look credible in front of investors.

Working across that many products in a short time gave me a fast read on what mobile UX patterns actually work, and what fails, across very different business models. It also taught me to design well under real time pressure, which mattered a lot more later in defense work.
