Examples of work

 
 

ICX Media Feature Designs

Worked with the front-end development team to create user-friendly designs that met the special needs of the client FreeThink including special features such as video metadata and data linking.

 

Key Change: Front-end development on web app designed to connect musicians with practice spaces

Academic project to design and implement an interactive web application. Utilized different techniques such as CSS, HTML, React, and Javascript to conduct DOM manipulation, create components that contained props and states, use routers for navigation, and fetch remote data from FireBase using AJEX requests. The end result is an interactive web app where users can look up and view open practice spaces and rent them. This app will provide musicians with a resource to discover practice spaces in the Seattle area.

 

Test the Tech

Academic project to learn the design process, from user research like user group interviews, persona creation, mission statement design, low and high-fidelity designs, and presentation of work. Created a design plan for a VR game to help people with degenerative eye conditions learn how to use useful technologies to help them navigate the progression of their condition. This tool provides realistic tutorials to prepare participants for the time when they need these tools. This helps keep this community safer and feel more confident in their abilities.

 

Evans Consulting: Human-centered Design in Human Factors solution

Provided expertise and created an example prototype for Evans Consulting during a five day Human-centered Design in Human Factors Solution workshop. The goal of the workshop was to create a solution to disconnected participation during meetings.
