Selected Works
A collection of projects from the last two years.
Twitch — Enhancing the accessibility of real-time engagement with a gesture interaction model.
Twitch is a live-streaming platform that allows viewers to watch and interact with their favorite creators in real time. I was tasked with designing an end-to-end interaction model for a gesture control interface that leveraged existing gestural guidelines and integrated within Twitch's design system.
Muni — Redesigning the Muni's kiosk system to better streamline the ticketing process.
Muni is the primary transportation system in San Francisco, responsible for over 158 million passenger trips a year. Despite now offering a mobile solution, field research revealed that many riders still rely on the ticket kiosks and often struggled with using them. I had four weeks to rapidly develop a prototype that improved digital navigation and streamlined the ticketing process.
Goodreads — Improving site navigation and usability by refining Goodreads' book tracking and review features.
Goodreads is a platform made for readers to discover new stories, receive recommendations, keep track of their books, interact with the online community, and so much more. I was responsible for assessing how users track books and providing design recommendations.
Mnēmē — Digitizing the act of collecting and revisiting memories in more ways that audio and visual.
Mnēmē is a concept created during USC's 24 hour Designathon and explores the idea of documenting our memories through all five senses.
2025 USC Designathon finalist
Bubblofi — Harnessing creative play to turn the turmoil of procrastination into moments of delight.
Bubblofi is an interactive productivity tool that combines the satisfaction of crossing off items on to-do lists with the addictive feeling of popping bubble wrap. My goal was to turn the stressful, anxiety-inducing process of managing responsibilities into a playful experience that encouraged task completion.
