Vabe Ape: Helping Small Businesses Thrive After COVID-19 Pandemic
From the initial idea to final execution, we followed the Double Diamond design process. This included desk research, both qual and quant surveys in three languages, interviews, and data refinement, leading to the creation of Personas, Customer Journey maps, and storyboards. Finally, we designed a high-fidelity prototype with a simple user flow for bar owners and customers. I also made all the illustrations and icons.
Impact:
- Increased revenue for bar owners
- Reduced waiting lines for customers

Do You Speak Holo? An Application for Children and Adolescents with Language Disorders (LD)
I was the sole designer on a team with 3 developers, creating the first application to enhance foreign language learning through Mixed Reality. We teamed up with language experts to develop game scenarios. I made an engaging VR user interface, along with 3D environments and characters, and we ran A/B tests with teachers and children.
Impact:

UI Design, Icons & Illustration
Choosy: An App that Makes Meal Planning Stress-Free & Delightful
I was tasked with refreshing the UI of the existing Choosy app by introducing new illustrations, icons, and an improved color palette. I defined a new art style for the characters, making them more friendly and placing them in more engaging scenarios. The icons were redesigned to deliver clearer messages and were created in various sizes for versatility.
Impact:
- Illustrations with engaging brand message
- Simpler icons effective in various sizes
