While working at Allegion, I collaborated with a team of developers to create a web application that would be used as a central hub for people to create and manage doors and openings. Within the application, being able to collaborate on building plans in real-time was a major feature the team designed.
‍
The goal of Overtur was to create a centralized environment for various roles in the building industry to collaborate on projects.
The challenge was providing a good user experience for several differing roles of the building industry while designing an intuitive interface.

COMING SOON

When I first joined the team and project, I had limited knowledge of the door and hardware industry. Coming from a marketing background that emphasized “pixel-perfect” design and messaging, collaborating closely with developers and business leaders was a new—but exciting—experience for me.

Through ongoing communication among the design team, business leads, and user groups, we were able to conceptualize and iterate on application designs that were truly user-driven. Watching the application evolve through multiple design and development iterations before its initial launch was both challenging and deeply rewarding.

This project helped me discover something important about myself: I have a genuine passion for solving problems that create meaningful improvements for users. And, of course, I can now confidently say I know what a continuous hinge is!
