    uniE621 Responsive Web Design for Event Sign Up
    This women’s coffee chat organization needed a responsive web design for their site that could be used to drive sign ups. They wanted a dark mode theme that felt cozy, rich, and interactive, because they wanted to connect successful women in a personal way, rather than a “business networking” feel, which is what they previously had. This was a single day project completed in Figma and handed off to the developer for deployment. #webdesigner #branding #graphicdesigner #designer
    uniE621 Healthcare provider rebrand and website
    I rebranded the company to better align with their target market and ideal users which involved: • UX research (user personas, interviews, competitor analysis, and stakeholder workshops) • Created a design system including brand voice, graphics use cases, reusable component assets, typography, color palettes and use case guidelines, iconography and guidelines for desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints. • Building a new website using a combination of Wix enhanced with custom CSS in line with the design system • Designing a new logo • SEO audit of the original site and new site • 6 month content strategy • Social media assets #logo #graphicdesigner #branding #designer #webdesigner #uxui #uxdesigner #uidesigner

    App designed to help young adults learn to travel independently from family while managing a variable budget and changing travel requirements. #designer #graphicdesigner #UXresearch #Prototyping #wireframing
    uniE621 Mental Health Clinic website
    Problem: Local mental health professional was not receiving calls or website visits because his site was created using text images, was not indexed correctly, contained no metadata, and was visually unappealing. Solution: complete rebranding including a new website using modern design, clean HTML5 code, appealing micro interactions, a blog, and calming styles. #photo
    uniE621 Style Guide for personal portfolio site
    My personal portfolio includes the ongoing development of a style guide which allows me to keep consistent brand voice across all platforms. Style guide components are designed to be responsive, and can be expanded as time goes on. My style guide includes typography, color, icons, image use cases, hero sections, spacing, and associated documentation.
    uniE621 Mobile App for Pet Owners
    Student project utilizing Material Design, and micro animations in Figma. Project included user research techniques such as interviews, survey, and competitor analysis, feature prioritization and storytelling, in addition to wireframing and prototyping. This project was not deployed. #designer #branding #appdesign #materialdesign #animation
    uniE621 Bootcamp final project: D&D companion app for iPad
    Problem: Dungeons & Dragons, the preeminent tabletop role playing game, is more popular than ever before, but it can be daunting to get started because of the sheer amount of information needed. Players must create a character, and Dungeon Masters (DMs) must keep track of the story. Solution: We designed an iPad app which guides a player through character creation and quick referencing of character-specific information. It also allows a DM to track player information, items, non player characters, maps and story settings, and difficulty checks. The app also allows DMs to push maps, backgrounds, and other visuals to all players and to “give” in-game items, wealth, etc, to an individual character’s inventory. Impact: During usability testing, 3/4 individuals who had never played D&D indicated that they would be willing to join a campaign with this tool. Character creation was decreased from more than 1hour (paper) to 15 minutes (with our tool). #uidesign #designer #webdesigner #frontenddeveloper #gamification #informationarchitecture
