Veteran's Affairs - Vetride

Vetride is a program created by Veteran’s Affairs to transport veterans to and from healthcare visits. The Vetride application is used by drivers to coordinate pickups and drop offs of veterans. The veterans make an appointment through the website or by phone, the trip request is confirmed by a Transport Coordinator, and then the veteran is transported to their appoint and back if necessary.

The vehicle application includes all the information needed to safely and competently transport a veteran in a timely fashion. Each veteran confirms their identity when they enter the vehicle, and the driver is shown prudent information such as medical/physical requirements, appointment info, and the most efficient routing to pickup as many veterans as possible in a short amount of time. The application also acts as a contact portal between the driver and the coordinators. Changes in appointments, passenger load, etc are relayed to the driver via the application.

Kevadiya Website Upgrade

Kevadiya desired to update their online image to match their new logo as well as print materials. The new website has a fresh, modern look utilizing hero banners, responsive formatting, anchors for navigation and consistant use of iconography for the various product lines and services.

The new site is designed to easily incorporate new products and service pages, keeping the site readily up to date.

United States Marine Corps Media Hub

Kevadiya desired an update to their branding image. They wanted to move away from the more illustrative style of their previous logo as well as updating their print materials to have a cleaner, more professional look. The color red used is an evolution from their original logo which was maroon, the updated red is brighter and has a more contemporary feel. The K is comprised of many small circles, which print well both in color and in black and white. Kevadiya prides itself in what they call the “Kevadiya Application Framework” which is a series of modules to create custom software for clients. The circles comprising the K represent the parts combining to make the whole, like how the modules function programatically.

As part of the public facing component the hub will also publish content to all popular social media sites through a scheduler with a permissions and authorization workflow. With the quick browsing and uptake of media at the forefront of the requirements the brief necessitated a data dense interface. The press can rapidly see new content for up to date news reporting at a glance.

The Marines internal facing interface allows for uploading of content from the field using Kevadiya’s interruptible uploading technology. Using the uploader the Marines in the field are able to upload even with inconsistent internet connections. Once content is loaded into the system the content is curated and edited by media managers before being presented/scheduled for viewing by the public. Included in the system is a video editor with caption support, basic image editing, audio editing with splicing, and a rich text editor. These editors can be used on desktops and mobile environments.

Using InVision to create interactive mocks, the interface for the website as well as for the tablet applications were tested for usability and to ensure that the functionality fulfilled the requirements. The intended use made for a no-nonsense interface placing all of the features close at hand.

Oakland University Wayfinding Kiosks

When I was the New Media Specialist for Student Affairs at Oakland University, I completed the Oakland University Wayfinding Kiosk project. The kiosks are digital map and information terminals. Two map sets were created in an isometric style, one for the Oakland Center and the other for North Foundation Hall. Both kiosk maps featured an accessibility interface which could be toggled on to lower the inputs to the ADA compliant height.

The maps show department and room information as well as locations of services. Also within the kiosk are maps showing parking/building information, live bus positions and paths for the campus bus system, as well as general announcements and advertisements for departments in Student Affairs.

These maps are still actively used in both original buildings, and were deployed to other buildings on campus in a reduced content configuration.

Oakland University Infographics

I have been designing infographics for the departments within Student Affairs at Oakland University for many years, starting from when I was the Systems Specialist and it continues to be an ongoing project. The infographics are created to inform the public and institution leaders of the achievements and strides made by each department. These infographics are distributed as flyers and also are bound into a year end divisional booklet.

Each department is interviewed to determine what are considered "Points of Pride." A "Point of Pride" is an area in which the department has expertise and excels. Then I take their raw data and craft their message so it best portrays their contribution to the university and to students.

Daniel Krug & Associates - Woodward Dream Cruise

Every year Daniel Krug & Associates host an appreciation event for their clients at the Woodward Dream Cruise. Since 2016 I have designed their event logo which is used to promote the event and is also used on promotional items.

Before creating a new logo I sit down with the client to determine what style wants to be pursued and whether they have any designs they like as a point of inspiration. I then produce two to three rough logo ideas for them to preview and critique. I then create a final proof of the changes/polishing for approval. Upon approval I provide the imagery in all requested formats.

Triumvirate Technologies LLC - Branding

The branding direction taken for Triumvirate was chosen to accentuate the contemporary nature of the world of cryptocurrency while maintaining a classic, austere tone in the color palette. The name Triumvirate originated to denote the three founding members of the company. The logo visually illustrates the three member dynamic with the triangle poking out from the circles. The three corners of the triangle represents the skills/capabilities of the members comprising the company on the whole.

The business card design is printed on a transparent satin plastic card. The one side highlights just the logo, and the other side is a no-nonsense display of the contact information. The cards are meant to make an impression, are moisture proof so they won’t be ruined in a pocket and are rigid to prevent damage.

Kevadiya Inc. - Print Branding

Kevadiya desired an update to their branding image. They wanted to move away from the more illustrative style of their previous logo as well as updating their print materials to have a cleaner, more professional look. The color red used is an evolution from their original logo which was maroon, the updated red is brighter and has a more contemporary feel. The K is comprised of many small circles, which print well both in color and in black and white. Kevadiya prides itself in what they call the “Kevadiya Application Framework” which is a series of modules to create custom software for clients. The circles comprising the K represent the parts combining to make the whole, like how the modules function programatically.

Kevadiya Inc deals extensively with government entities, which require specific business classifications and certifications. The back of the business cards function as a cheat sheet for the recipient to confirm the requirements are present, and can be referenced at a later time when new projects come available.
