ACM Published AR Design Guidelines Paper

This research on the synthesis of academic AR design guidelines let me discover the gap between academic research and industry design practice by unifying them into a comprehensive table. Publishing at ACM is a milestone that inspired my own growth as a UX researcher/designer.

Onboarding Redesign Driving Retention Growth

Simpia is a piano learning app with 1M+ downloads on Google Store. Working as a UX Design Intern, I've solved the app's user retention problem by redesigning the onboarding flow based on direct user feedback. This has led to a 19% increase in retention rates and partially helped secure $40,000 in funding.

Launching Loyalty Dashboards, Marketing Sites

Taperk is a B2B start-up that provides solutions for loyalty reward program management platforms. As a product designer, I shaped the start-up's first core product, a loyalty reward management dashboard, from scratch and launched the first marketing site, pushing me to solve core problems for small F&B businesses.

Designed Registration Platform, Scalable Design System

SHPE is one of the largest communities for engineering at USF. Joined as a solo UX/UI designer, I led the creation of an official landing page and designed a seamless registration process for SHPE’s Hackathon 2024 at USF, enabling hundreds of future engineers to register smoothly. I learned to build scalable website systems, ultimately helping SHPE host a successful and impactful event.
