Work Experience

Researched and designed a mobile train tracking feature, adding a real-time progress view with a pearl chain diagram so travelers always know where they are on their route.
Redesigned the Amtrak Loyalty Redemption Portal landing page to better educate users through point redemption options and hand them off smoothly to our co-brand partner, Kobie.
Spearheaded the end-to-end design overhaul of Travel Pass purchasing and redemption across all breakpoints, starting mobile-first and handling edge cases to make the entire flow frictionless.
Refreshed e-ticket emails using a mobile-first approach, modernizing the layout and visual hierarchy to highlight key pre-trip details, accelerate check-in QR code scanning, and introduce targeted promotional messaging to drive AGR rewards program sign-ups for non-members.
Owned the UX/UI for digital onboard screens across the NextGen Acela fleet, including welcome banners, safety information, self-checkout kiosks, and Cafe Car menus, for a cohesive passenger experience.
Redesigned station and route pages for the Acela and Cascades lines, establishing a cleaner information architecture and layout that helps travelers locate key details at a glance for the new fleet launches.
Other projects: Expanded mobile app capabilities by designing intelligent suggested station features based on travel history, built a dedicated kiosk checkout flow for excess baggage, and refreshed the homepage experience around streamlined trip planning.
Co-built a scalable design system that bridged components across mobile, native-app, desktop, and kiosk breakpoints to speed up design and keep UI patterns consistent.
