A few mascotte tests that sadly will never see the light of day. Client decided to stick to "normal" branding. 😭

It is certainly their loss! This would've been such a memorable mark. Love it :D

Most apps lose users on the first interaction. Not because of content. Because they ask users to think. Thinking = friction Friction = drop-off

This screen removes thinking. No typing No decisions No effortJust reaction.

Tap → feel → continue

This is the shift: Users don’t answer They react

And reaction creates momentum. Momentum creates retention. That’s the insight most apps miss: You don’t fix retention with better questions. You fix it by making interaction effortless.

This is not a question screen. This is a retention trigger.

If your product is losing users early you don’t have a traffic problem.

You have an interaction problem. I break this down in audits and show exactly where users drop off and why they don’t come back.

I partnered with a senior Business Analyst to transform a task-heavy resume into a recruiter-ready, ATS-optimized document built for enterprise, healthcare, federal consulting, and Salesforce Business Analyst roles. The project focused on clarifying career positioning, strengthening keyword strategy, and rewriting the content to highlight measurable business impact, Agile and Waterfall delivery, Salesforce platform work, UAT coordination, process improvement, and cross-functional leadership. I restructured the resume to present her as a high-value Lead Business Analyst with credible enterprise experience, stronger search visibility, and a clearer fit for modern hiring manager expectations.
