As the Lead UI/UX Designer, I spearheaded the comprehensive UI and UX redesign of SchoolCash Online, transforming a legacy "90s-style" interface into a modern, mobile-first experience for over 16,500 schools. The primary pain points involved a fragmented user journey and a confusing checkout process that drove high support ticket volumes. My role was to overhaul both the visual aesthetic (UI) and the functional flow (UX), tackling the challenge of simplifying complex multi-board toggling and fund management (myWallet). The end product is a sleek, modern, and high-fidelity responsive platform that significantly reduces user friction, proving that even the most complex financial tools can be intuitive and visually compelling.

Cover image for In the SchoolCash Accounting Redesign,
In the SchoolCash Accounting Redesign, I led the end-to-end UI/UX transformation of a legacy financial web app for school staff. Pain points included a confusing 90s-era architecture, poor accessibility, and a lack of digital sharing features. The primary challenge was simplifying complex workflows—like the "year-end rollover" and manual check-issuing—into a modern "ePay" system for non-tech-savvy users. My role spanned user research, strategy, and rapid prototyping to create a high-fidelity, dashboard-driven suite. The end product is an intuitive accounting tool featuring universal search, customizable reports, and a prioritized notification system, delivering professional-grade financial intelligence to a school administrative environment.

Travel & Leisure ETF TV Commercial I produced a high-impact, 15-second commercial for national television (BNN Bloomberg) and a multi-channel digital campaign across YouTube, Google Ads, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The goal was to launch Canada’s first travel ETF by tapping into post-pandemic recovery, positioning TRVL as the premier way to invest in global airlines and resorts. As lead producer and editor, I used cinematic pacing and bold typography to ensure the message resonated in both sound-on (TV) and sound-off (social) environments. The asset generated massive view counts and served as a vital "visual elevator pitch" for the sales team, simplifying complex fund benefits into a clear, high-energy value proposition that drove immediate investor interest.

Covered Call ETFs Explainer For the Covered Call ETF Explainer, I produced a 3:25m masterclass designed to demystify how Harvest generates monthly income while capturing market growth. To ensure technical accuracy, I conducted deep-dive sessions with portfolio managers, translating dense financial concepts like "strike prices" and "33% cap overlays" into digestible, high-end visuals. The primary challenge was preventing viewer fatigue during a complex mathematical breakdown; I solved this by developing a premium visual language where concepts "build" in real-time. By blending rhythmic pacing with professional sound design, I transformed a difficult educational topic into an engaging, professional asset that builds immediate investor confidence.

Blog post: https://www.qilart.com/blog/the-glinda-makeup-brush-set-that-shouldve-existed Confession: I’m a massive Wicked fan. Like, “knows every lyric to For Good” level of fan. But after years of seeing every kind of Wicked merch (from mugs to lego sets) I couldn’t stop thinking: where’s the Glinda-inspired makeup brush set when we need it the most?! So over the weekend, I made it myself (and mastered new workflows along the way). Goes to show in the age of AI, it's all about the workflow and taste. Check out The Upland Collection Vanity Brush Set: my fanmade take on what Glinda’s magical wand might look like if it lived on your vanity. This was part design experiment, part love letter to a story that’s shaped who I am. See the full concept + process on my portfolio (and yes — there were bloopers 😆)

Just wrapped a 2-day sprint remaking my site! I'm really excited about this version <3 Though I had to change to a different platform again. I’ve now tried Wordpress, Wix, Framer, and Squarespace. My verdict so far: 🧩 Framer → ABSOLUTELY made for product designers (especially who are well versed in figma!) 💼 WordPress / Wix → can get clunky, but pretty good for most business owners & for complex integrations 🚀 Squarespace → surprisingly great for fast paced venture builders like me~ Portfolio making is such a never-ending journey. Check it out and lmk your thoughts: http://qilart.com (Also open for business! :D)

First post! Had the opportunity to work on a personality-based NFT series: Hue Are You? Every person has a spectrum. This collection transforms those subtle differences in personality into unique color stories, creating NFTs that feel as personal as they are playful. Think of it as your inner world, made visible. It uses generative algorithms to transform personality insights into bold, ever-evolving digital artworks; unique tokens that blur the line between self-expression and tech innovation. Each piece maps psychological traits to carefully designed palettes, creating vibrant digital identities that feel both personal and universal. The project explores how color psychology and blockchain intersect to celebrate individuality in the digital age.
