JPMorgan Chase
Business Lending, Credit Journey and Dodd Frank
I played a key role in shaping the user experience for Chase's Business Line of Credit, Credit Journey, and Dodd-Frank projects, with the goal of transforming the digital application process into something seamless and customer-friendly. By collaborating with an incredible team of designers, product owners, content editors, developers, and researchers, we tackled the challenges faced by our business customers head-on. I designed intuitive hero flows and crafted wireframes that not only addressed pain points but also delivered a smooth, frustration-free experience. Together, we created solutions that helped make the process faster, easier, and more efficient, ensuring that customers could navigate their financial journey with ease.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I led the design of an easy-to-use platform for small businesses applying for the Paycheck Protection Program. Given the urgency and complexity of the program, my team and I focused on guiding users through the application process step by step, minimizing confusion, and providing clear instructions at every stage. It was established by the CARES Act to help business customers durig this crisis. PPP is implemented by the Small Business Administration (SBA) with support from the Department of the Treasury.
Our hard work helped many small business owners during the pandemic. According to the SBA's website, JPMorgan Chase was the top PPP lender in 2021.

Traditions
Year-Round Holiday Store
Traditions is a year-round holiday store located in Canoga Park, Southern California. Their original website was in need of a makeover, so I took the initiative to redesign it with a retro vintage style. For Halloween, I incorporated earth tones and umber hues to give it a seasonal, nostalgic feel. The products are now neatly organized by holiday and category for easy browsing. I also designed their mobile app, featuring a clean, user-friendly interface that complements the store’s new look.

Out of Body
Art Opening for Ruben Ireland Group Show
Out of Body was a captivating group show curated by Ruben Ireland at the Gauntlet Gallery. With its stunning black and white pieces, I wanted to create a video that truly captured the essence of the exhibit. The theme of "Out of Body" evoked a Gothic style, so I used a distressed film effect for the border to frame the walkthrough. On the left, I incorporated a carousel of the artworks. To add to the atmosphere, I deliberately used an inverted countdown clock, creating an eerie sense of time. For the final touch, I chose the haunting track "Chatter Box (Pt 2)" by Book of Love to complement the mood.

As a lifelong fan of the big screen, I created this infographic set showcasing my favorite movie genres, films, and celebrities. The infographic features a variety of elements, including charts, a map with cinema listings in San Francisco, and some iconic movie quotes for a fun, cinematic experience.
Jasmine Garden is a campaign I created to revitalize their branding and identity. I redesigned their branding to better capture its essence. The new logo, featuring a single jasmine flower alongside the brand name, exudes elegance and simplicity. I also developed a modern, easy-to-navigate website to enhance their online presence. To increase visibility, I created striking signage boards strategically placed around the city, aimed at attracting more customers and strengthening their presence in the community.

Tri-Well
Holistic Center
Tri-Well was a conceptual holistic wellness center. The center key focus is healing the body, mind and spirit. I created their logo using the three basic geometric shapes. The Circle represented the body, Square - the mind, and Triangle - the spirit. I designed the invitation using a dye-cut technique. The brochure has a textural coding in the back. I designed the two collateral pieces with the feel of peacefulness and zen.
