Projects

Baby Steps

Baby Steps prototype

A maternal health education app designed to support expecting mothers in rural America, where access to care is often limited. The app delivers bite-sized learning modules, a local resource map, and a personal journal — all aimed at closing health literacy gaps in underserved communities. I led the end-to-end UX design, from research and wireframing through the final interactive prototype.

Digital Health Index

Digital Health Index prototype

A full website redesign for the Digital Health Index, focused on improving information architecture, visual clarity, and overall usability. I drove the UX strategy and design direction, conducting user research to inform a cleaner, more navigable interface for a complex data-heavy platform.

Jury-X Dashboard

Jury-X prototype

A fully functioning dashboard application designed to help attorneys make data-informed jury selection decisions. I owned the full UX design process — from concept through high-fidelity prototype — translating complex legal workflows into an intuitive, streamlined interface.

Homework Helper

Homework Helper prototype

A GPT-integrated app prototype that helps parents support their children through homework by bridging the gap between modern teaching methods and what parents remember. The app surfaces current classroom techniques and guides collaborative math practice aligned with what teachers expect. I designed the full product experience from concept to prototype.

UX/UI Process

UX

A process documentation piece illustrating the end-to-end UX/UI methodology applied to the Jury-X project. It walks through each phase — research, ideation, wireframing, and iteration — demonstrating how design decisions were grounded in user needs and refined through testing.

RAPID Program Analysis

RAPID

A comprehensive pre/post survey analysis evaluating student learning outcomes from the RAPID summer program. I designed the evaluation framework, analyzed the data, and translated findings into actionable recommendations to inform future program improvements.
