inTents

A mobile app that simplifies camping trip planning by consolidating booking, planning, and organization into one seamless experience.

Problem:
Campers struggled with juggling multiple websites and tools to plan trips, leading to frustration and disorganization.

Solution:
I designed and prototyped inTents, a mobile app that consolidates booking, planning, and organization into one seamless experience.

Impact:
The design reduced planning steps by 40% in testing and showcased my ability to create intuitive, user-centered digital products.

Phonic Bloom Website

A digital platform created to educate audiences about the Phonic Bloom installation and share its process of development.

Problem:
Visitors to the Phonic Bloom installation had limited ways to understand the research and design process behind the artwork, as well as its cultural significance across languages.

Solution:
I collaborated with my team to design and build a responsive website that documented the project’s development, showcased interactive media, and explained how vocal patterns from different languages inspired the installation.

Impact:
The website extended the life of the installation by making its story and process accessible to a wider audience, demonstrating my ability to combine UX design, content strategy, and front-end development in a cultural-educational context.

Game Jam Project

A parody game inspired by Doom and Animal Crossing, created in 48 hours for a game jam.

Problem:
Game jam teams face the challenge of building a complete and engaging game under extreme time constraints, while making it stand out among dozens of entries.

Solution:
Our team designed a parody mashup where the player begins in a Doom-like world, then shifts into an Animal Crossing–style environment. I served as the UI Technical Artist, coding menus and HUD elements in Godot/GDScript, while also contributing as the main character’s voice actor and an assistant level designer.

Impact:
The final game was a fully playable downloadable build, showcased by PIGSquad, and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. This project highlighted my ability to bridge UI programming, creative design, and collaboration under high-pressure deadlines.
