Ridgehouse builds operational instruments.

Each instrument begins as a functional object. It captures signal, interprets context, and performs a defined role. Over time, these tools interconnect and form a larger system. Every release is built for continuity, clarity, and long-term use.

PERCEPTUAL SYSTEMS

Ridgehouse is an independent systems studio.

We design and build instruments, tools, and environments that operate as complete systems. Studio work extends this practice into collaboration, shaping perception, behavior, and structure across products, platforms, and physical spaces.

Film defines the Ridgehouse world.

Through moving image and narrative structure, Ridgehouse establishes identity, tone, and environment across the system. Film articulates the emotional logic behind the instruments and gives form to the larger mythology.

Experiment is where the system evolves.

New instruments and frameworks are prototyped here. Concepts are tested, refined, and pressure-checked before entering the broader Ridgehouse architecture. This is the field laboratory.

Digital Experience

End-to-End Experience Design

I led a redesign of National’s entire rental experience, from booking to return, to modernize both digital and physical touchpoints.

This included:

  • Booking Platforms: Simplified reservation flows across desktop and mobile to streamline the rental process with fewer friction points.
    ‍
  • In-Location Experience: Redesigned counter layouts and lot navigation to align with digital-first user expectations.
    ‍
  • Service Ecosystem: Ensured seamless transitions from app to aisle to drive-off, integrating loyalty and digital engagement throughout
    • ‍

Impact:

The foundational work shaped the evolution of National’s digital-first strategy, later certified by the redesign and launch of their next-gen app with features like one-click reservation and Emerald Checkout.

‍

Digital Platforms & Loyalty Integration

I helped rebuild National’s digital infrastructure to scale with innovation and user demand:

  • Mobile App Evolution: My redesign work laid the groundwork for the 2023 app update, which introduced biometric login, seamless Emerald Club integration, and streamlined reservation flows.
    ‍
  • Global Reach: Designed systems that could flex across 1,500+ locations in 90 countries.
    ‍
  • Loyalty Integration: Advanced design for the Emerald Club experience, enabling faster checkouts and improved member retention
    • ‍

Impact:

These systems supported National’s continued leadership—maintaining the #1 spot in Business Travel News' supplier ratings for a decade.

‍

Organizational & Market Impact

Catalyzed internal innovation and positioned National as a digitally forward mobility leader.

  • Executive Buy-In: You aligned with leadership at HQ to prove how experience-first design drives conversion and loyalty.
    ‍
  • Scalable Infrastructure: Created reusable frameworks for continuous digital evolution across National’s portfolio.
    ‍
  • Recognition & Trust: Your groundwork helped the brand stay top-ranked 10 years running, reinforcing user trust in digital tools.
    • ‍

Impact:

National transformed from legacy rental standard to an award-winning, digitally enabled brand—positioned to lead within Enterprise Holdings’ $25B+ mobility portfolio.
