Things I’ve worked on

Haud Go!

An award-winning final assignment for Design Thinking 1. My teammates and I were tasked by an external client to create an AR experience that responsibly educates users on the history of the local indigenous communities of Brantford. This involved extensive research, design iterations, and user testing to ensure an engaging and informative experience.

JUX Audit

The JUX website faces multiple challenges in regards to information architecture. These issues hinder user navigation and discovery, prompting us to address them through a content inventory, card sorting, and tree testing. The audit revealed key areas for improvement in the website's structure and organization.

NBA 2K24

I wanted to understand what the player base enjoys the most about the NBA 2K24 game, as well as the pain points that might be holding them back from enjoying the most recent iteration to the fullest. Through surveys and community analysis, key insights were gathered. These insights were used to inform design decisions to improve the overall player experience.

Coming Soon - Product Design
