Empathy Map

After conducting research and interviews, I created an empathy map that informed the creation of a target persona I used throughout this project with Udacity.

Game app for iOS

As a personal project, I created a very simple game app that someone of any age could play and that required no text cues. Inspiration came from the non-digital world.

Lost Pet app

In my original app for my UX Design class, I created multiple prototypes of an app to help people find their lost pet. This iteration was a working prototype for the purpose of conducting usability testing.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Ping Pong paddles

Working with an overseas manufacturer, I created a custom line of ping pong paddles as a personal creative project. Rallipop paddles were sold on Amazon.

Rallipop brand

I worked with a local graphic designer to create the Rallipop logo and package design. My goal was to create a fun, colorful brand with a nod to '70s pop flair. I'm a fan of mixing sensory elements – thus the 'flavor' and color mix.

Custom color and handle

I paid attention to every detail of this product, creating a stain design with a Scandinavian feel on the poplar handle and going with the purple enamel label on the handle to stand out from more serious ping pong brands.
