Online Learning Portal

TLDR;
A gamified learning platform that makes corporate training feel less like compliance and more like progress.
‍
Client:
Corporate learning startup (2024)
‍
Problem:
Most corporate training platforms treat learning as a chore: a compliance checkbox buried in an intranet. Completion rates are low, engagement is nonexistent, and employees forget what they watched within a week. Companies invest in content but have no way to make it stick.
Oward made learning something people actually come back to.
The platform combines high-quality video, podcasts, masterclasses, and hands-on challenges in a content feed employees want to browse. A gamification layer  (points, streaks, levels, badges, and daily goals) sustains motivation over time. I designed the full experience across desktop and mobile, including collective challenges that bring teams together around shared learning objectives.

Restaurant Training & HR Platform 

TLDR;
A mobile-first platform that turns restaurant menus into structured training, quizzes, and performance tracking.
‍
Client:
Restaurant technology startup (2023)
‍
Problem:
Restaurant staff turnover is notoriously high, and every new hire means retraining on menus, prep, and service standards from scratch. Managers spend hours onboarding verbally, knowledge lives in people’s heads, and there’s no way to measure whether a new bartender actually knows the menu before their first shift.
Garnysh turns menus into training — automatically.
The platform gives employees a mobile app with full menu details, ingredients, and prep steps alongside quizzes and a personal knowledge score. On the management side, operators can build out their menu with AI-assisted ingredient and allergen extraction, generate tests directly from menu content, and track staff readiness — turning weeks of shadowing into a structured, measurable process.

Real-estate Investment Portal

TLDR;
A one-stop portal for real-estate investors to monitor their properties.
‍
Client:
Tech-enabled property management startup (2021)
‍
Problem:
Working with a property manager has always been a mess of long email threads, drafts upon drafts of leases, unanswered messages waiting for updates on showings, applications and service requests. If only there was a way for real-estate investors to have all the information in one place and self-serve, if necessary.
And we designed just that!
‍I designed the Investor Portal after interviewing many of our real-estate Investors and learning what would make their life easier. This included showing the current financials, occupancy and any recent activity, as well as many proactive features to approve, review and communicate with us before small issues escalate into emergencies.

IoT Monitoring Centre

TLDR;
A central dashboard for tracking and interacting with IoT beacons.
‍
Client:
Internet of Things device manufacturer (2016)
‍
Problem:
In 2016 the Internet of Things was just beginning to take off, but tools for building on top of the technology needed to be custom made for each application. There was a need for a powerful SaaS platform, featuring a full-featured dashboard to create, monitor and monetize experienced built around IoT beacons.
See how it all turned out
‍I designed a full-featured dashboard to create, monitor and monetize experienced built around IoT beacons. The platform allowed businesses to upload custom maps of their offices, factories and conferences and then setup beacons to track employees and attendees who opted in for the connected experience.

Enterprise Workflow Builder

TLDR;
Designing a user-friedly way for Operations team to build workflows without needing to wait for engineers.
‍‍
Client:
Tech-enabled property management startup (2022)

Problem:
Workflows are complex and often require frequent adjustments as priorities, laws and business goals change. To help our operations team self-serve their workflow automation needs, I helped design a user-friendly interface for building workflows our of triggers, branches and custom actions without wasting time of our engineers and waiting 2 weeks for another sprint to finish.

I oversaw the design of the modular Workflow Builder, which allowed business stakeholders to build and modify a complex set of rules, using simple building blocks.The workflow builder connects directly to our data and uses our process maps, SLAs and a Role Matrix to automate assignment of tasks, setting of due dates, escalations and notifications to ensure that all workflows run smoothly.

Whitelabel Point of Sale System

TLDR;
Customizable platform allowed institutions to spin up their POS solutions without a prolonged development period

Client:
POS technology startup (2015)
‍‍
Problem:
Many banks and financial institutions offer services to help stores and other vendors to help list their products, offer deals, and process payments. Yet, they would prefer to own the whole process without having to build the tech from scratch or relying on platforms outside of their control.

We designed a solution that they can own without having to build it.
This project was an exercise in constraints. Not only did I have to use Material Design as a base of the design system to help our engineers implement it faster, it had to be white-label so that clients could customize colors and logos to make the experience on-brand. The SaaS backend platform was designed for cleanliness and ability to scan through large amount of data, while the mobile and tablet apps were designed with a chunky, tile-based system for easy visibility -- and 'tappability' -- when used in stores with varied lightning, screen sizes and finger-print smudgeyness.

Travel Planner for Tourists & Agents

TLDR;
Travel agents, activity providers and travellers now have one place to plan the trip together
‍
Client:
Travel & tourism startup (2016)
‍‍
Problem:
Organizing trips is not for amateurs, and the more people are involved, the more opinions come into play, the more decisions need to be made and the harder it is to make everyone happy.  How to synchronize all the communications in one place, help everyone share the same itinerary, get group discounts and allow agents and activity providers make money while planning a trip of a lifetime for clients?‍

Here's how!
We designed the SafeTravels platform to provide the tools for travel agents and activity provides to design, market and monetize boutique trip itineraries. Travellers also get an upgraded user experience, with TripView. There they can review the schedule for the entire journey, find special offers for interesting activities and talk with their fellow passengers and tour guide. Finally, a mobile experience was designed to accompany the travellers while they are in the middle of their trip, with offline maps, timetable and chat capabilities.

AI Highlight Reels for Live Video

TLDR;
Before-it's-time platform for automatically generating video highlights for social media
‍‍
Client:
Media technology startup (2014)
‍‍
Problem:
Live video was just becoming mainstream, but before tiktok, instagram stories, twitch and youtube clipping functionality was available, it was hard to take what you saw live and share it on your shiny-new social media accounts.

Hard, but not impossible!
‍Starting with a seed of an idea, me and my co-founder built a team to develop and deploy a web platform for live video, built around a ground-breaking AI-clipping technology, which allowed media companies to accomplish in seconds what used to take hours to doPitched, negotiated and owned the marketing and sales strategy that helped us land venture capital investment, dominate incubator competitions and win high-profile international clients such as Academy Award Red Carpet, MuchMusic Video Awards, EPICENTER Moscow, Rio 2016 Paralympics.
