CalAlert

Envisioning a universal Emergency Alert System for the State of California

CalAlert

CalAlert is a consolidated emergency alert and response system. This system allows residents and visitors to California to view information from multiple verified state and federal agencies and local, crowdsourced information. This system allows local municipalities, police, fire, and other emergency response organizations to push information with little to no overhead.

The climate crisis is the existential threat we will all face in the upcoming decades. In 2020 alone over 4 million acres burned in California. Fires, hurricanes, and floods are only going to get worse, so we must build accessible platforms and communications infrastructure to warn people of danger.

eBay Network Audit

Large-scale visualization of the eBay network.

Using data to inform a redesign

Zoomed out version of the seventeen foot poster

Large-scale visualization of the eBay network, including key monetization flows, identification of flows that could be optimized, and organizational and information architecture change recommendations.

I consulted with Tangible UX to audit eBay’s key user flows. My partner and I audited their entire network. We created an information graphic that leadership and individual teams used to reimagine their Buy, Sell, Help, Support, and Community experience and set them up for success in their redesign.

The result was a series of information graphics and a seventeen-foot poster kept in several locations on the eBay campus.
