Wireframes

In most projects, there was a simple need to desiWireframes & mockups were used in two ways, to help refine and clarify business goals into a product concept that can be distributed. Also to help with sizing inside of Agile scrums.

 

Prototypes

So often pages need to be presented in the linear progression of a specific use case, and its ability to complete it without creating confusion or frustration to the user.

 

Collaborations

While user experience might be helped by mapping out how a user perceives, it is sometimes beneficial to create flows that can how dependent to technology. Workflows are a perfect tool for that.

Supply Chain Forecast Dashboard

Service

  • Dashboard

  • Part Group Analysis

  • Part Analysis

  • Forecasts

Contribution

  • Prototypes

  • Wireframes

  • Design Sprint

Challenge

Analysts with the task of providing aviation components across worldwide clients so that they can be maintained and comply with local regulations can be a stressful job, adding to the fact that this high-stress task can often include a wide range of sources and formats. Recent worldwide events have made the need for robust management of supply chains critical.

Solution

Create a single unified source for content but learn how analysts operate and gain success. Then finding ways that disparate sources might be housed under a single platform that follows a unified user experience that is easier to use and more reliable.  Most of these already exist elsewhere, and so the trick is to simply overlay a unified design kit to retain what is important to our users.

Aircraft Records Repository

 

Design

  • Repository

  • Sharing

  • Upload/Download

Contribution

  • Wireframes

  • Prototypes

Challenge

Create a manner in which aircraft support staff across the entire world can access maintenance records for specific flights following the new global Spec 2500 standards.

Solution

Create a web-based repository and file management solution that supports the existing maintenance dashboard while allowing users to update and share between owners and operators.

Flight Dispatch & Weather Tracking

 

Features

  • Flight Dispatch

  • Weather Tracking

  • Historical/Forecasting

Contribution

  • Information Design

  • High Fidelity Wireframes

  • Specification

Challenge

With adjustments with the satellite weather providers, there’s a need to revise and improve upon existing weather features as well as how time is used to display historical vs forecasts.

Solutions

Following the existing design patterns of the current application, create new features such as weather and forecasts without standing out from legacy features.

Designing for the Sky

 

The Jeppesen Story

I joined the Boeing organization through a smaller company called Jeppesen. A company that for a long time was independent of manufacturing as everyone in the industry used its tools. Which focused on Flight Following a system for calculating the millions of problems that an electronic flight plan must have completed.  

Market Resiliency

The work done with Boeing through the US government has been buoyant given the turbulent state of world affairs. This fact made for an optimal work experience since it had the longevity and clarity necessary to produce a good product.

A New Tomorrow

By starting with an aged product that had a one-hundred-year legacy, I was able to learn a great deal about how Boeing’s future was planned for, as well as how the change made its way to every aspect of the product development cycle. These valuable lessons were then leveraged with a focus on new and innovative solutions on the Materials Planning side of Boeing.
