Personal Projects
This is a collection of projects I’ve been working on outside of school. I’ve gained hands-on experience through being curios and wanting to develop new skills. Take a look!
Working with a startup
In late 2023 I was engaged in a startup project where I worked as a UX designer in the final stages before launch.

Working with a developer
I also felt like I was getting closer to how it’ll be working in a company with developers. I did the UX designs and the developer coded it. Being on the same page is a challenge in itself, and it was valuable experience.
