I turn “we need a way to…” into a working system.

I’m Kimberly Morris. Give me a complicated idea and I’ll dig into what it needs to work. I’ve created a study participant portal, shaped the workflows around it and built a photography business of my own. I bring technical curiosity and a business owner’s sense of responsibility to making the pieces work together.

What that looks like in practice

My experience connects three sides of a business: designing how the work should happen, understanding the technology behind it, and taking responsibility for the customer’s experience.

01 / FROM IDEA TO IMPLEMENTATION

A study needed a process. I helped give it one.

Resonate Life Water · Participant portal & workflow design

I created the Jotform participant portal and developed the workflows supporting an observational study. The work called for thinking through both the participant’s journey and the team’s responsibilities behind it.

  • Mapped intake, consent, review and follow-up
  • Created participant forms and portal structure
  • Organized project information in Notion
  • Tested participant and administrator workflows

The decisions behind the screens

What information belongs in intake? Who reviews a submission? What happens when something is missing? How does someone know which step comes next? I worked through those questions as part of defining the participant experience.

One concrete example: combining the application and medical-history intake into a single form. Another: documenting participant actions separately from administrator review, so both sides of the process could be followed and tested.

My contribution

Portal creation in Jotform, workflow planning, forms, participant communication, Notion documentation and user/admin testing. I worked with the project’s developer on technical delivery and helped document and coordinate issues across the systems involved.

02 / INVESTIGATION & SUPPORT

A problem to untangle. A person to bring with me.

Sparklight & Advanced Academics · Technical customer support

Internet service and virtual education put me close to the moment technology stops making sense to someone. I learned to investigate the issue while helping the person understand the way forward.

  • Troubleshot connectivity, device and account issues
  • Supported students, families and educators
  • Recorded the investigation and next steps
  • Explained technical processes in usable language
Why this matters to the work I build

Support gives you a particular perspective on systems: you hear where instructions are confusing, where assumptions fail and where someone gets stuck.

At Sparklight, I worked through internet and account problems. At Advanced Academics, I supported users of a virtual learning platform. That experience informs the questions I ask when working on a new process: what does this person know, what do they need, and what might we be taking for granted?

I bring that perspective to testing, documentation and customer onboarding.

03 / CREATIVE BUSINESS OWNERSHIP

Build the business. Deliver the experience.

O’ Snap Photography · Founder & owner

Running my photography business meant being responsible for both the creative result and everything it took to deliver it. I handled the relationship from the first inquiry through the final files.

  • Turned client requests into a plan for delivery
  • Managed scheduling, contracts and payments
  • Coordinated logistics and changing requirements
  • Organized, reviewed and delivered digital work
The perspective ownership gives me

Every booking brings together a person’s expectations, a deadline, practical logistics and a creative decision. I learned to hold those pieces together while keeping the client informed.

It’s also why I care about the systems behind a small business. A booking process, a payment step or a delivery workflow is part of the experience people remember.

I bring that combination of visual judgment and operational responsibility to the tools and processes I help create.

Curiosity, put to work.

I’m drawn to work where I can investigate, learn and build. My background lets me move between the big picture and the practical detail: the business goal, the person using the system, and the steps needed to make it work.

Research that leads somewhereI organize what I find into requirements, decisions and next steps. The point is to give the project something it can move forward with.
An eye for the whole experienceI consider how the screens, instructions, forms and handoffs connect. Testing both user and administrator workflows helps reveal what a single view can miss.
Resourceful with new technologyI learn the tools the project calls for and work through unfamiliar problems. My experience spans portal creation, support systems, payments and website delivery.
AI as a practical working toolI use AI to explore options, organize information and iterate on work. I stay involved in questioning the output, refining the direction and deciding what is ready.

My working toolkit

Jotform and Notion for building and organizing processes. ServiceNow for support work. ChatGPT for research and iteration. Canva for visual communication. My project work has also involved Stripe, AWS and Cloudflare, alongside the everyday tools that keep people coordinated.

What are you trying to make possible?

I’m interested in implementation, customer onboarding and AI-enabled operations roles where I can help turn a complex idea into a usable system. If that sounds like the work ahead of your team, I’d like to hear about it.
