human centered work that makes things
Crafting clean, delightful user experiences. Helping people and businesses increase value and create things.

Celtx
Managing film & television productions, from creating and sharing narrative knowledge to prop and location management and scheduling, is very difficult with many moving parts. Our mission was to make production faster and easier by creating a powerful cloud-based suite of deeply integrated production tools without getting in the way of the nonlinear creative process. As a product, Celtx satisfies a dynamic collaborative user base that includes writers, directors, actors and production managers at all stages of production. Celtx can meet users at all levels of engagement and skill, from writers starting alone or with a small studio team to full-time film and television writers and production teams working on multiple episode series.
Celtx believes the key to unlocking efficiency and creativity in production spaces is by democratizing development and processes through transparency and communication, offering accessibility to everyone on the production team.
Philosophy & Practise
making a product
Design at Celtx is the aggregation of all departmental ideals, as well as the goals and dreams of users. Through simple changes to a complex system, Design at Celtx created a welcoming, intelligent and robust product. It has been an honour to see and help it grow.
​Inspired by well-researched real-world production workflows, I have designed the complex web of integrated documents that comprise a Celtx project into several distinct touchpoints that mirror real-world workflows that resonate with users, increasing their use, engamgent and success
