About

I am a recent graduate in product and UX design with a background in costume design and customer support, with experience in React, React Native, HTML, CSS, and Figma.

Projects

2022

I designed and developed the mobile application Bordr from the ground up, utilizing React, React Native, Expo, and
Figma. The app allows users to find new friends by location for board games or by selecting "online" to play video games
together. Through competitor and user research, I incorporated user-centered design principles and techniques to
create a unique and engaging user experience. Check out the Bordr prototype for yourself: rb.gy/cwkfho

process and allows me to create user-friendly experiences that prioritize user needs.
