KPMG One
KPMG sought to reduce costs from missed travel and lost business opportunities by making everyday tasks easier for consultants, enabling them to focus on their clients and work.
As Principal Experience Designer, I led the creation of a productivity app that helped KPMG consultants stay focused on clients rather than logistics. Leading a team of two designers and partnering with strategists and developers, we turned research insights into a rules-based dashboard that prioritized what mattered most to each user.
The challenge was to reduce financial losses caused by missed travel and inefficient workflows. The solution was a modular system that adapted to each consultant’s role, surfacing the right information at the right time.
Through rapid prototyping and iterative testing, we validated a design that simplified complexity and improved daily efficiency. The proof of concept launched with 100 associates, delivering measurable gains in productivity and confidence. Although the program paused in early 2020 as travel declined, its success established a foundation for future productivity tools within the firm.

Intelligent dashboard
A dynamic, context-aware dashboard that personalizes tasks and insights in real time.
PROBLEM
How can a dashboard anticipate and respond to a user’s needs during meetings, while traveling, or when completing time-sensitive tasks?
SOLUTION
The dashboard adapts dynamically based on rules and priorities. It factors in a user’s role, responsibilities, calendar, scheduled travel, location, local weather & traffic, and other data to determine the order and display of widgets.
IMPACT
Key tasks are surfaced proactively, giving users one-touch access to their most important actions when they need them most.
Scalable design system
A design system that standardized components and states, enabling rapid prototyping, seamless collaboration, and consistent user experiences at scale.
PROBLEM
Inconsistent components and fragmented handling of widget states made it difficult to maintain a cohesive user experience across products.
SOLUTION
A dynamic design system with centrally managed components and variants that updated automatically across screens. Designers rapidly tested and validated different states, while developers used shared libraries to keep implementation aligned with design intent.
IMPACT
The system accelerated design cycles, enabled rapid prototyping, and streamlined collaboration, establishing a consistent and scalable foundation.
