- With a senior colleague reviewing the change, combined UX research with prototyping of a financial task, comparing labels and recovery paths in Sketch; changed the flow when participants mistook a saved draft for a submitted request.
- Within an assigned workstream, tested typography and layout in an HTML and CSS prototype with long names, zoom, and narrow screens; adjusted reading order and inline errors so the task remained understandable without the desktop layout.
- Within the assigned scope, observed users completing a multi-step task, separated navigation failures from comprehension issues, and retested the revised flow with the same task wording.
- Within the assigned scope, owned a user-research prototype using wireframes and usability tasks, resolved navigation ambiguity and increased unassisted completion from 6 to 9 of 10 participants.
- Within the assigned scope, published an HTML interaction specification using keyboard and screen-reader checks, enabling engineers to reproduce focus order and validation states before implementation.

- The team paired with analytics to monitor 5 journey outcomes after launch; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review. The team gave support and product owners a clearer follow-up path; documented my assigned work separately from the team result and confirmed it with a senior colleague.
- Within the assigned scope, annotated the delivered design with spacing, type and interaction decisions, reviewed the first implementation with engineering, and corrected differences that affected comprehension or accessibility.
- Within the assigned scope, tested a revised layout with realistic long text, empty content and error states, annotated the places where the hierarchy broke down, and adjusted labels and spacing while preserving the established design system.

- Within the assigned scope, the team specified keyboard, focus, validation, and recovery states for 19 complex components; my scope was data preparation, quality checks, and follow-up documentation under senior review
- Created a self-directed design brief with a defined audience, content hierarchy and accessibility constraints; compared distinct visual directions using the same content rather than changing the message with each mockup.
- Checked the chosen design at its intended display or print size, annotated readability and contrast problems, and delivered editable source files with typography, color and export specifications.
- Owned the independent design review using actual-size proofs, resolved contrast and reading-order defects and completed an annotated before-and-after specification.
