UX Projects

  • Identifying Usability Issues in a Student Pairing Tool for Teachers

    I was a UX research intern at Carnegie Mellon’s University Human-Computer Interaction Institute. My project was an AI-powered web tool for teachers to more easily pair up students in the classroom. I recruited teachers, conducted user sessions, and identified usability issues in the prototype.

  • Orthodontic Website Redesign for Inman Aligner (freelance client)

    Redesigned an outdated orthodontist site to better align with the parent brand and showcase aligner products for dental professionals. I revamped the site structure, integrated new content, and refreshed the design using brand-specific colors. The result: a modern, clean, high-traffic site that strengthens brand identity.

From Infographic to Motion Graphics

I recently created my first motion graphics video! While looking for small businesses to design websites for, I came across an infographic on Dirty Habit' Cocktail’s website and was inspired to transform it into a motion graphic.

The 25-second video I made using Jitter.video, a free and easy to use motion graphics software with preset motion animations that I applied and layered.

The original infographic from Dirty Habit Cocktails.
