'MOOD FOOD'
During my own experience and research, I found that eating nutritionally-dense meals has a huge impact on mental health. All recipes & photos are by CDD.

MIND / BODY / HEART
0.4 is divided into three main sections -- mind, body, and heart -- each of which are color-coded according to color psychology. Articles are written for a broad audience in a light tone, yet maintain the evidence-based approach of 0.4 by linking back to scientific studies.
My friends are my biggest inspiration.
Also, I believe design is a tool that can
change the world.
In my practice, I combine photography, writing, research, and data to inform my work. I believe that content is king and form should follow function.
I've been lucky enough to work with people I am truly inspired by and who I believe are game-changers in whatever industry/field they are a part of whether that's philanthropy, fashion, music, or food & dining.
Nothing makes me more excited than helping the people I admire transform their dreams into a realities. It's pretty rad.

Design Brief
Redesign the 'All Investments' page on Vanguard's Financial Advisors site, prioritizing the desktop view. (According to the client, this is where most FAS' are accessing the site.)
Process:
-
conducted interviews with Financial Advisors
-
did competitor research
-
researched a variety of UX models + e-commerce experiences
-
extended the UI for Vanguard's style guide
-
proposed a number of design directions
Role: Designer (UX + Visual)
Original Webpage
The biggest challenge was showing the products and their attributes in a digestible, scannable way. The current state had a lot of floating UI which contributed to visual overwhelm of the page.
Competitor Research
We focused our research on Blackrock, Pimco, and iShares as these were sites that Vanguard said they looked to as competitors.
Other research
I also looked at other e-commerce sites, as Financial Advisors essentially 'shop' for an investment on this page. In addition, Vanguard expressed interest in wanting to see a vertical nav as one design direction so this is something I focused my iterations on.
E-commerce references:
-
Urban Outfitters (side nav + visual 'cards' for investment products)
-
Behance (tagging + search)
-
Beauty-pedia (filter side nav)
01
Search- Forward + Tags
Behance inspired
The first iterations are Behance-inspired in that I looked at:
-
I added an in-context search with a high hierarchy (the logic behind this was that FAS advisors expressed they wanted to find products quickly; they didn't come to this page to browse)
-
I placed the secondary nav below 'search' so as to avoid the stripe-y effect of having two horizontal navs on top of one another
-
I added pills as to show which filters had been selected
REFERENCE:
EXPLORATIONS:
02
Side filter nav + Grid of Products
Beauty-pedia inspired
The first iterations are Beauty-pedia inspired in that I looked at:
-
adding side filter nav
-
looked at list view vs grid view of products
REFERENCE:
Nav explorations
03
Accordion Nav
+ Products as Visual Cards
Urban Outfitters inspired
The first iterations are Urban Outfitters inspired in that I looked at:
-
card treatment for products
-
side nav accordian style
-
'featured' dropdown
-
addition of number of funds, smaller hierarchy
End Conclusion
The client responded really well to the first two proposals and while they also liked the last one, they felt that the cards didn't provide a quick enough read for FAS advisors to compare products.
They ultimately went with Direction Number 1.
