Kahua - Summer 2025

UX/UI Internship

Construction teams were losing time searching for help that was buried across a complex platform. I redesigned how users find support and how admins deliver it.

Owlness

Research Project

Mental health support for college students is harder to access than it should be. I helped research and design an app to change that.

Continuity

Capstone Project - Coming Soon

Product teams were losing the reasoning behind decisions. Continuity keeps research, themes, and features connected from discovery to handoff.

Polis

UX Research & Design

Phase

UX Research & Design

Half of people with menstrual cycles say it negatively affects their training. Phase was designed to change that, by meeting users where their energy actually is.

Let's talk!
