Vermilion County / Danville Showpiece
I recently worked on a project highlighting Vermilion County and Danville through data, mapping, and community context. The goal was to bring together clear research, local insight, and visual storytelling to create a piece that was both informative and easy to understand.
This kind of work sits at the intersection of planning, demographics, and analysis — turning complex information into something useful for decision-makers, organizations, and communities.
Projects like this are a good example of the work I enjoy most: combining research, data, and place-based analysis to help tell a community’s story clearly and effectively.

i’ve spent years designing websites with whatever tools were available
now i’m slowly getting used to the fact that i can also make the tool
for this project i wanted to explore more directions for the brand
collecting references or creating each direction from scratch would already become a project of its own
so i built a small generator and started playing with it
each output gives me something to react to
keep this
change that
try one more
and then one combination suddenly feels like a direction worth following
it’s still rough and i keep finding small things to fix
but honestly this is the part i’m enjoying most
doing the design and building the tool that helps me explore different visual languages at the same time
Making the tool instead of just using it is such an underrated superpower for designers. Once you can generate directions to react to, exploration stops feeling precious and starts being fun. This is the good kind of lazy.
I made this project around a pretty data-heavy product, and I actually really enjoyed working with all that information.
A big part of the process was figuring out different ways to organize metrics, charts, and numbers, and deciding what should be more visible, what could stay secondary, and how everything should work together on one screen.
It was fun to explore different layouts and find clearer ways to present complex information without making the interface feel overloaded.
Choosing what deserves emphasis is the real challenge in data-heavy UI.
Real Estate SaaS Dashboard
Real estate software often sits on top of a large amount of operational data.
Properties, leads, deals, revenue, tasks and performance all need to be visible without turning the product into an information wall.
For this dashboard concept, the design process started with hierarchy.
The most important metrics get immediate visibility. Supporting information is organized into focused sections, while actions remain close to the data they relate to.
The result is a SaaS interface designed around clarity, decision-making and everyday workflow.

The goal wasn't to make the product look complex.
It was to make a complex business easier to operate.
