UI/UX Design and Development
Developed two UX/UI design prototypes, applying user-centered design principles, usability testing, and user research methods. The first focused on creating a clear and trustworthy interface for a money-lending company, while the second centered on a food ingredient scanning app that helps users make informed food choices. User research was conducted to gather insights into target user needs and behaviors, and this information was used to guide design decisions. Industry-standard tools were utilized to create wireframes, build interactive prototypes, and refine the overall user experience based on feedback and testing.
Kiva Lenders
This project focused on designing a user interface for Kiva, a non-profit organization that connects lenders and borrowers to expand financial access for underserved communities. The wireframe was created for borrowers using flip phones with limited screen space and functionality, featuring a main dashboard and a loan request page that enable users to view loan details, track repayment progress, and request new loans with minimal navigation. User research guided the design to ensure clarity, accessibility, and alignment with Kiva’s mission of transparency and empowerment. The result provides borrowers with a simple, reliable way to manage loans without advanced technology while improving data accuracy and communication for Kiva. A cloud-based system was also recommended for lenders, offering secure, real-time access to borrower data and automated tools for tracking and reinvestment to further support Kiva’s goal of fair and accessible global lending.
Healthy Ingredient Scanner
This project focused on creating a digital wireframe for the Healthy Ingredient Tracker app, designed to help users scan food products and understand ingredient health information quickly and clearly. The prototype included three main screens—a welcome and log-in page, a product scan and results page, and a dashboard/history screen—each developed to promote intuitive navigation and accessibility. User research guided design decisions, leading to features like guest access, dual input options (barcode scan and manual search), color-coded ingredient indicators, and audio feedback for inclusivity. The design emphasized clarity, feedback, and convenience to meet diverse user needs. Adaptations were also proposed for digital watches and touch-based kiosks. The watch version focused on quick, glanceable interactions for real-time product safety checks, while the kiosk version leveraged larger screens and built-in scanners to assist multiple users in public settings, such as grocery stores. Together, these designs demonstrated flexibility, user-centered thinking, and scalability across multiple platforms to make healthy food decisions more accessible to all users.
