Reducing cognitive effort without reducing capability.
Every additional visual element competes for a customer's attention.
Every competing element increases cognitive effort.
This interface was designed to reduce unnecessary decisions through disciplined use of hierarchy, progressive disclosure, and intentional restraint. Primary actions are unmistakable. Supporting information remains accessible without overwhelming the experience.
Complex products don't have to feel complicated.
They need to communicate with precision.

I’m designing an alert feature to help users monitor their parents' medication adherence. The goal is to notify children when a dose is missed, while also allowing them to view upcoming schedules, all without feeling too alarmist.
How would you balance this sense of urgency with a supportive, clear UI? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this design direction!

We're excited to share our latest launch: the new brand and website for Kin & Co.
Founded by Toronto-based editorial and commercial photographer Samuel Engelking, Kin & Co. is a boutique portrait studio for families who've always been intentional about how they live, and how they're seen.
We met Samuel in person and connected right away over a shared belief: family photography had gone stale, and design-conscious families deserved something with real editorial intention behind it. We partnered with him to build a brand and website that could carry that vision.
From the custom serif logotype to the tactile, print-first identity system, every detail was built to let Samuel's photography lead.
No clichés. Just intention, taste, and images made for the wall.
