UI/UX Designer

Clean Intuitive Designs

I have spent the last decade designing WCAG accessible enterprise software from start to finish as part of a cross-functional, agile team. I’ve helped design and release over 10 SaaS products, and served as a bridge between design, product management, engineering, and other key stakeholders while advocating for the user and solving real world problems.

Feedback on my work

“My libraries using BLUEcloud Acquisitions were shocked at how easy it was. AND I had the most change-reluctant staff gush about BCAcq Receiving.”

Melissa Klein - ILS Specialist - Winnefox Library System
In reference to BLUEcloud Circulations: “When I saw how easy it was to use and how my workflow was so much quicker, it was a done deal and I haven’t stopped using it since.”

Tiana - Librarian - INFOhio Library System
After presenting BLUEcloud Discovery's underlying design plan to the executive team:

“Thank you! I’m absolutely giddy at how well that went over. You accomplished in an hour what I’ve been trying to argue for months :)”

Adam Viator - Product Manager for BLUEcloud Discovery
“Jared consistently does awesome work and has gone above and beyond on multiple occasions to help us meet deadlines and solve challenging problems with user interface designs.”

My Work

The software I designed connects over 300 million people with information and resources at more than 23,000 academic, public, school, government and corporate library facilities in over 70 countries.

Here's a small sampling:

Discovery for Academic Libraries

Modernizing the academic discovery process

In today's fast-paced academic landscape, the need for efficient and intuitive search tools is paramount. Seeing an opportunity in open access content, we needed to design a modern discovery system that would be built from the ground up with emphasis on WCAG accessibility, responsiveness, and scalability.

Library Content Selections

Redefined the library's content selection process reducing the costs of purchasing books and other materials by over 30%.

Circulations Checkouts

Modernizing the checkout process cutting transaction time by 24%.

The circulation desk is the front line of the library, a dynamic bustling hub where librarians must manage the constant flow of patrons and materials. When the checkout line is backing up, a young mother is trying to soothe her screaming child, and the end of the day is approaching, efficiency is paramount.

We needed to bring the library checkout process to the modern age redesigning it for efficiency while keeping all of the many additional actions the librarian would need easily accessible.
