Big Ideas, Real Impact
While I cannot showcase my professional wireframes due to my contract- I can showcase my process, the smaller designs accomplished during my time at Tuft's and how I handled the unique obstacles I faced during each project.
My Process
-
Plan with Purpose
Being organized is the name of the game, you need to have a clear plan, goals and strategies.
-
User Understanding
Designs should fit the users. Understanding the user at their core allows for high quality and useful designs.
-
Put the Puzzle Together
There is a lot of information to juggle during the design process, the key is to understand which details belong where.
-
Share the Story
Presenting your designs in a clear story allows the users understand not only your design process, but your work’s impact and value.
Earbuds Redesign 2024
My first redesign assignment redesign a wearable in a unique way and fit within a target market of our choosing.
I designed an earbuds screen for students and working professionals, to decrease distractions while providing access to auditory needs.
The biggest obstacle I faced within this project was how to carve out a niche within a saturated market while making the product unique and desirable.
Rant - Journaling App
What started as a personal struggle with journaling consistently morphed into a project where I practiced my user interviewing skills, survey writing, market research, and outlining comprehensive personas and user journeys.
Targeted a user persona that is unable, for a multitude of reasons, to build a habit of writing out their feelings and day-to-day experiences.
Rant provides an easy and secure place where a user can record their 'rant' of the day and transcribe it into entries they can read later. Users are also empowered to analyze emerging patterns and repetitive issues to better understand themselves.
Productathon 2024 - "Muse"
During a 36 hour Producathon, our team conducted market research, designed a wireframe of our application, and created a PowerPoint deck to present a new social media app.
Introducing Muse, where you are able to put up art for sale, view different artists, commission artists, or post a commission for an artist to offer their skills for.
I learned how to be flexible within ideation, how to know when to pivot ideas, and how to successfully communicate and delegate within a small team while facing personal struggles such as lack of sleep and pressure to deliver a high-quality product under a tight deadline.
