The project FoodFolio is dedicated to meticulously enhancing the user interface, refining each visual component to achieve a higher standard of aesthetic quality and design consistency. The goal is to shape a seamless and polished interface where every element works in harmony, aligning precisely with the underlying conceptual framework. Through this approach, Foodfolio aims to offer users a clear, engaging experience that not only meets usability standards but also elevates the project’s overall visual appeal to resonate with its core objectives, it's target users.

Mystic Manor is thoughtfully designed as a personalized dashboard to make tracking a variety of daily activities—including meditation, finances, mood updates, sleep, language learning progress, water intake, food consumption, and design challenges—both engaging and delightful. With its whimsical, witch-inspired aesthetic, Mystic Manor transforms routine tracking into a fun and enchanting experience. The dashboard is fully adaptive across different devices, whether accessed on a PC, mobile, or tablet, ensuring a seamless, magical experience wherever users choose to connect with their goals. This unique design approach aims to transform each interaction into a playful experience.

Smrit-i is a speculative AI service designed to preserve cherished memories, especially after the loss of a loved one. Traditional photos and videos can’t capture the full depth of emotions, atmosphere, and connections that make memories feel truly alive. Through the Smrit-i Ring, users can capture memories with sensory detail, creating a lasting legacy. It supports the grieving process, allowing users to relive these moments for comfort and healing. I crafted a minimal UI design in mixed reality to convey emotional depth, providing users easy access to relive and cherish memories in a AR/VR Setup.

Shoppy is Kmart’s friendly store assistant app, powered by beacon technology to enhance the shopping experience. Bluetooth beacons placed throughout the store connect with shoppers' smartphones, guiding them to specific items on their list, and displaying real-time prices and suggestions. A main beacon at the entrance provides a 3D store map, allowing easy navigation through each aisle. Shoppy includes multilingual support, making it accessible to all shoppers. In this project, I collaborated with a fellow student for user research to understand shopper needs, then independently crafted a minimal UI design to tackle navigation challenges and create a seamless, user-centered shopping journey.

We developed Willow as an adaptive, AI-driven platform with two main functions: Learn and Relax, tailored to the user’s learning style and emotional state. Learn provides personalised study plans and content aligned with academic goals, with real-time emotion tracking Willow can also adjust learning content based on users’ emotional reactions. Relax offers a curated selection of daily activities to help students unwind and recharge. Together, these features create a balanced, user-centered experience. The UI is designed to be fun and approachable, making Willow engaging and enjoyable while users explore and learn without feeling overwhelmed.

I designed this poster to highlight the iconic Bryant Park Hotel and its distinctive Art Deco architecture, capturing the elegance and architectural heritage of New York City. With a focus on symmetric yet natural forms and golden accents, the design aims to reflect the hotel’s timeless charm and its place in the city’s rich architectural landscape. It was crafted in using Adobe Illustrator, where I used by illustration skills to emphasise the unique styles, features and allure of the Bryant Park Hotel, making it an eye-catching representation of New York’s Art Deco legacy.
