The Challenge
Turn varied client content into clear, polished pages across desktop and mobile.
Central Decision
Recompose hierarchy for each breakpoint instead of shrinking or mechanically stacking the desktop layout.
Outcome
Responsive pages shipped on public client websites within established design systems.
Working inside a real production system
At WORX, I worked within established agency and client systems. Assignments often began with approved direction, existing patterns, and real content; my job was to resolve the page-level hierarchy and carry it across breakpoints.
My Contribution
Designed selected pages and sections, created mobile layouts, produced supporting graphics, and revised work through handoff. I delivered the Home layouts for Vivax Medical, Waterbury PD, as well as mobile layout for Essex Trust, and more.
Constraints
Existing systems · variable client content · deadlines · stakeholder feedback · shared ownership · no access to internal working files after the role.
Decision 01 - Translate intent, not pixels
Why it Mattered
A desktop composition can lose hierarchy on a small screen if elements are only resized or stacked in place.
Decision
For Waterbury PD, I moved cards, changed image stacking, and rebuilt the Divisions grid so the mobile page preserved the same reading priority.
Effect
The small-screen experience retained the intended story and action path without imitating the desktop composition.
Decision 02 - Build hierarchy within the system
Why it Mattered
Client content rarely arrives in ideal lengths or proportions. The inherited components still need a clear page-specific reading order.
Decision
For Vivax Medical, I used content blocks to organize provided copy, then adapted the layout to mobile in order to tell the story content team prepared.
Effect
The page fit the established visual language while gaining a clearer hierarchy for its specific content.
Decision 03 - Extend the system across formats
Why it Mattered
Website and assets needed to feel related even when their dimensions, content, and viewing context changed.
Decision
Applied Essex Trust’s brand guidelines through considered icon placement, spacing, and consistent imagery, creating a clean banking experience that still felt warm and approachable for its older audience. Rebuilt the content hierarchy and layouts for mobile.
Effect
Created a cohesive, approachable experience that preserved Essex Trust’s brand across devices while making its financial content clearer and easier to navigate on mobile.
What proves the work
Because these pages were collaborative, the strongest evidence is precise attribution - not a metric I cannot isolate.

Contribution
Sourced imagery that reflected Essex Trust’s brand while resonating with its audience of adults 40 and older, then restructured the content hierarchy for a clear mobile experience.
What I learned about production design
Responsive Work is Recomposition, Not Resizing
Creating mobile versions meant reconsidering hierarchy, grouping, reading order, and image placement - not simply stacking the desktop page. The goal was to preserve each page’s intended story within much tighter space.
Established Systems Still Require Judgment
The design system provided the visual foundation, but it could not make every page-level decision. I focused on content priority, composition, and applying existing patterns consistently across different client needs.
Resolve Ambiguity Before it Becomes Rework
I surfaced questions about client intent, content, and constraints before designing. Aligning early helped me avoid solving the wrong problem and reduced revisions caused by preventable misunderstandings.
Handoff is Part of the Design
I structured copy, imagery, content blocks, and documentation so developers could understand how a page should behave - not just how one finished frame should look.
