THE CONTEXT

CHURCHSALARY

Salary data is complex and easy to misinterpret. Church leaders needed a way to explore benchmarks and plan compensation without feeling overwhelmed — so they could make confident, fair decisions for their teams. ChurchSalary V3 was a full platform rethink: expanding a single salary report tool into a suite of nine interconnected applications, complete with a unified dashboard, all designed to make high-stakes data feel navigable and trustworthy.

MY ROLE

ChurchSalary V3 represented a full platform rethink — expanding a single salary report tool into a suite of nine interconnected applications, complete with a unified dashboard. I was the sole product designer responsible for the entire platform: information architecture, component system, and the visual language tying it all together.

THE DESIGN SYSTEM

CornerStone

I designed CornerStone's library from the ground up. CornerStone was built to seamlessly integrate with the broader Gloo family of products, but needed to feel distinctly itself. I started with laying down the foundation and basics like color and typography. From there, reusable components was created to ensure cohesion.
