Curriki Course Creator
Proof of concept
UI Design
Design Systems
Challenge: Design a new platform for an existing education platform that allows teachers to build courses manually or using AI.
Ideation: How would a teacher ideate on course creation? What tools and features are needed? How would they source and import information? How do we make integrate editing in a usable way? How do we structure the process of creation? What problems might a teacher encounter?
Iteration: The process of adding elements was integrated into the page and quickly became overwhelming. We pivoted to a pop-out window that allowed teachers to easily search, add, and edit information.
Calmr Dog Toys
Start-to-finish
Small Business
Shops & Shipping
Challenge: Design a dog toy website from scratch that honors the ideals of science-backed dog treatment.
Ideation: What ideals are most important to CalmrDog? What should be highlighted? What would customers look for first? How could we promote the most popular products?
Iteration: The home page was initially just a promotion of key products, but after meeting with clients we decided to highlight the scientific background behind the toys and add sections promoting education and awareness of dog behavior.
GrahamZ Portfolio
Portfolio
UI Design
SEO
Challenge: Create a portfolio for a local creator that specializes in multiple filming mediums.
Ideation: How can we showcase his work, and make this site visually stunning?
Iteration: We opted for a film reel hero section to showcase his work.
Arcadia - Game Finder
UX-Intense
Research
Original Project
Challenge: How can we help tabletop gamers discover local game stores and events?
Ideation: Physical attendance is important, so players must have an effective way to search, find, save, and interact with local game stores and events.
Iteration: Initial features included a search function, calendar, event scorekeeper, and profile. The event scorekeeping feature ended up being scrapped, as research showed that users didn't tend to participate regularly enough to find scorekeeping useful. It was also difficult to construct a scorekeeper that was consistent across different games.
