UX designer passionate about creating meaningful experiences for users 🤝
I have been a visual designer for 2+ years and am currently pursuing UX design. My current coursework consists of interaction design, information architecture, data analysis, user research, and prototyping. I create high quality, brand oriented designs for my clients and companies I have worked for using design principles and thinking.

Projects

Case Study

In an era full of seemingly limitless possibilities in terms of mobility, individualism, and opportunity, many of us are facing the complex issue of feeling and being alone. Public health efforts have been directed towards addressing the epidemic of loneliness, as coined by US surgeon general Vivek Murthy. Our social connectedness is the number one indicator of our mental health and wellbeing, as well as physical health - prolonged loneliness is comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day when it comes to lifespan. Closer resolves social needs of users and automatically generates hangouts catered to the individual friendships to foster genuine, consistent relationships. I created a B2C SaaS responsive site that encourages users to connect with existing friends and browse new friends in order to create meaningful, long lasting relationships with each other. Closer utilizes API integration to gather business hours and make reservations as needed.Closer aids the formation and maintenance of social relationships by taking care of the logistics of where to find friends & making plans - where & when, who’s going, and estimated costs based on user preferences and availability. Furthermore, the site takes personal profiles and preferred local places into account in order to optimize suggested hangouts and friend match suggestions, as predicted by AI. Closer directly meets user needs of finding and building meaningful social relationships by: 1. generating meaningful conversations between new friends 2. making plans based on user preferences and availability 3. catering to a wide variety of personality types From engaging in major competitor comparions: I noticed that none of the mainstream digital resolutions for people looking for friend type connections took into account the complications of scheduling when it came to making plans. What sets Closer apart from alternative options is by offering a unique, direct way of answering problems.See More
