Designing Digital Experiences That Make Complexity Feel Effortless

I design digital products, responsive platforms, and visual systems that transform complex content into intuitive, accessible, and engaging experiences. With 20+ years of expertise across digital publishing, learning environments, and brand strategy, I bridge UX principles with high-end visual design.


MoCCA — Savvas Learning

Digital Product Design | Design Systems | Accessibility (WCAG/UDL)

Overview

MoCCA (Modular Custom Content Authoring) is Savvas Learning’s digital content authoring platform designed to build interactive, accessible, and responsive learning experiences for students and educators.

As Graphic Web Designer, I contributed to the design evolution of the platform—creating modular UI components, responsive content layouts, and accessibility-focused interactions that allow editorial and product teams to assemble complex educational content seamlessly.

The Challenge

Educational content is inherently dense and multi-layered. The primary challenge was designing a flexible component-based system that could support diverse curriculum requirements while maintaining structural consistency, cross-device responsiveness, and strict WCAG/UDL accessibility standards.

My Role & Focus

  • Role: Graphic Web Designer (UX/UI, Design Systems, Digital Publishing)

  • Key Focus: Modular Architecture, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), Responsive Layouts, Annotation & Interactive Reading Tools, Cross-Functional Collaboration (Product, Editorial, Dev).

Design Approach

  • Modular Component Architecture: Designed scalable layouts, gadgets, and interactive blocks that adapt dynamically across different learning modules without breaking visual hierarchy.

  • Accessibility & Universal Design: Implemented WCAG and UDL considerations to ensure interactive reading, annotation, multimedia, and navigation tools are fully accessible for all learners.

  • Responsive & Adaptive Layouts: Engineered consistent, intuitive user experiences optimized across desktop, tablet, and mobile displays.

  • Visual Systems: Established precise typography, spacing, and UI patterns to streamline content creation and lower cognitive load for users.

Impact & Results

  • Scalability: Enabled rapid and consistent assembly of digital learning modules across various subject areas.

  • Efficiency: Standardized reusable UI components, drastically improving editorial production workflows.

  • Inclusion: Delivered responsive, accessible interfaces that empower diverse student needs.

The studio translates lifestyle narratives—from motorsport performance to coastal elegance—into immersive residential concepts and cinematic property stories.

The Challenge

Luxury real estate, architecture, and high-end property development often struggle to communicate how a space feels before it is built or through conventional static imagery. The goal was to build a sophisticated digital destination that leverages emerging technologies to make ambitious architectural ideas and emotional atmospheres immediately visible and compelling.

  • Immersive Digital UX: Designed a clean, high-conversion web experience featuring targeted intake workflows for homeowners, architects, and luxury developers.

Impact & Results

  • Successfully established an innovative studio framework combining spatial visualization with emotional brand positioning.

  • Created a seamless digital interaction model that translates complex conceptual visions into clear, actionable client briefs.
