Curiosity Cabinet

The sky is very blue

None of this was inherited, none of it was someone else's roadmap picked back up. Where the flagship case studies dig into one product for months, this is the opposite muscle: standing up the first version of something from a blank screen, over and over, across healthcare compliance, consumer novelty, and every audience in between.

Different stakes, same starting condition every time: nothing to extend, nothing to copy, big, open "blue sky" design.

UI & UX

Mobile: a universe in your pocket

A dozen 0→1s, back to back: a smart mug that reads a room, a bike lock that never asks for a password, a coffee bag that tells its own origin story. First-of-kind concepts like Cast-A-Cup and Need-2-Go Basis, ThirdEar's accessibility work, and Folgers' augmented-reality packaging.

Personalization matrix

Flows and journeys: personalization landscape map

Fifteen personalization initiatives, from Optimized Landing Pages to Value-Added Features, each cross-referenced against a crawl/walk/run maturity model: anonymous visitors, returning prospects, and registered policyholders, rendered as crawling, walking, and running figures down the left of every column. Inside each cell sits a full spec: sub-tactics, actors, channels, applications, and the experience/enablement/integration/data tiers required, plus a three-axis score for technical complexity, analytical maturity, and business value, with an overall Level (I–V) rating. The zoomed inset ties two adjacent cells to a phased timeline (3 months, 6 months), the tell that this doubles as a sequencing tool. Mø designed this as a single reference artifact a program team returns to repeatedly: engineering scans the technical-complexity and integration-tier rows to estimate build cost and dependency order, data/analytics teams use the data-tier and analytical-maturity fields to plan instrumentation ahead of the initiatives that need it, and product/portfolio leadership scans business-value scores against the crawl/walk/run axis to sequence a roadmap that ships low-complexity, high-value wins first while deferring initiatives that need registered-user data the platform doesn't collect yet. The matrix was printed 12 feet x 3 feet, mounted on Gatorboard and installed at The Hartford's corporate headquarters.

Killer consulting gigs

A few projects Mø was given wide latitude and creative freedom to explore and present.

Audi: The Future of Voice In and Out of the Vehicle

A digital product concept for GSK's Onyx R&D data platform, designed to give scientists a unified UX/UI for navigating and acting on research data.

Brand design books

Stepping into the Creative director role, here are three brands Mø built.

AOV Brandbook

Athletes of Valor, positioning a veteran-recruitment platform to speak to both veterans and collegiate coaches through a defined brand pyramid, tone of voice, and visual system.
