IBM / ENTERPRISE EXPERIENCE DESIGN

Complex systems.
Clearer ways
to work.

Designing for the people who manage enterprise technology—and the people learning how it works.

Currently at IBM

Product experience: Storage-management workflows and prototypes
Technology storytelling: Internal onboarding videos, animation, and sound

A high-level account of my responsibilities. Designs, internal materials, and confidential project details are not shown.

PRODUCT EXPERIENCE / STORAGE MANAGEMENT

Preserve expertise.
Make room for
new ways of working.

Experienced administrators value the speed and familiarity of command-line workflows. Newer users need a more discoverable visual experience.

My work spans both: redesigning storage optimization and configuration workflows while considering how different administrators approach the same tasks. The challenge is to support expert ways of working while making complex processes easier to understand.

COMMAND-LINE WORKFLOWS

Respect established practice.

Consider the knowledge, familiarity, and working habits that experienced storage administrators bring to the product.

VISUAL WORKFLOWS

Make the next step clearer.

Shape interfaces and flows that help users discover configuration tasks and understand how to move through them.

My contribution

Workflow design: Work through the structure of storage optimization and configuration tasks across command-line and visual experiences.
Prototyping: Make proposed workflows tangible through prototypes that support discussion and evaluation.
Research & validation: Contribute to research and validation in collaboration with a UX researcher. Workflow responsibility is shared.

A SEPARATE IBM CONTRIBUTION / INTERNAL LEARNING

Complex technology.
A story people
can follow.

I create internal onboarding videos that introduce IBM technologies and explain their use cases.

Content writers develop the scripts. I take responsibility for video creation: motion graphics, animation, sound, and the finished video. This is a separate effort from my DFSMS product-design work.

The work includes technology topics and AI-supported use cases, using IBM Carbon design principles to support a consistent visual language.

Motion graphics

Bring supplied content into a visual sequence.

Animation

Use timing and movement to explain complex ideas.

Sound & video

Bring the visual and audio elements together in the finished video.

CONFIDENTIAL WORK / AN OPEN CONVERSATION

There’s more
behind the work.

Much of my IBM work is covered by non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality obligations.

I can’t share designs, internal videos, or detailed project information publicly. I’m happy to discuss my role, approach, and collaboration within those boundaries.
