A vast content management system

Sales Assets Tab (2023)

A centralized digital asset management platform

Legacy systems needed to be replaced with a unified platform for managing and distributing a wide variety of sales assets that must accommodate the distinct needs and technical capabilities of different internal departments, such as sales teams needing to upload assets and other stakeholders needing to browse them efficiently. It was necessary for assets to be correctly formatted and delivered to numerous destinations, including internal repositories and external retail partners like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, each with its own unique and strict technical specifications, file limits, and metadata rules, all while migrating data seamlessly from the old systems.

Solution

• Led migration from legacy Sketch components to modern Figma system, establishing new standards for the organization's MyHouse design system, creating a scalable foundation of module components to enable rapid iteration and consistent implementation as the platform grows

• Designed sophisticated table interfaces displaying multiple data points (file names, descriptions, asset types, copyright info, internal notes, etc.)

• Structured metadata display and editing capabilities that balanced information density with usability

• Created distinct but cohesive interfaces for:

  • Asset upload workflow (single and bulk options) optimized for sales teams

  • Asset browsing experience tailored for internal stakeholders

• Developed visual treatments for multiple asset states (selected, newly uploaded, draft, requiring information) to improve user feedback

• Engineered tables to accommodate varying content lengths while maintaining usability

Outcomes

Assisted in creating a unified sales asset management platform that would streamline how publishing teams upload, manage, and distribute marketing materials to major retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble while maintaining proper permissions and metadata standards.

MyTI (2020)

An enterprise-level migration of the critical Title Information (TI) system necessitated by the decommissioning of legacy Flash applications and exposed UX/UI component gaps. The goal was to maintain seamless workflow continuity for all users across the organization's most-utilized application while introducing complex new functionalities, such as batch data management and comparative title selection, and establishing robust validation rules to prevent the release of incomplete or inaccurate data to downstream systems.

Solution

• Designed a comprehensive set of scalable UI components and detailed design patterns that addressed crucial edge cases

• Delivered modal interfaces for batch TI status management, enabling users to efficiently update multiple records while preventing empty field releases

• Redesigned a multi-modal selection system for comparative titles, featuring a dynamic accordion interface, advanced filtering, and bulk selection

• Implemented intelligent validation logic to prevent errors along with contextual warnings, conditional button states, and clear user messaging

• Authored detailed functional specifications that codified the complex business rules, establishing a clear framework for release mechanisms and data validation that guided development and ensured operational clarity and consistency across the new platform

Outcomes

Helped the successful migration of thousands of users to the new platform with zero workflow disruption. The intelligent validation system prevented data integrity issues, while the new batch management capabilities reduced processing time for bulk updates. The comprehensive design documentation became the standard reference for future platform enhancements.
