About this website
This website introduces my general UX design process, and the three main UX projects I worked on during my time at Parsons:
-
Shine: my Master’s thesis; a singing coaching app for singers with hearing loss on iOS and Apple Watch, transcribing hearing into seeing and feeling, to build singers’ confidence.
-
Boil Monitor: a monitoring app prototype to assist user with hearing loss to take care of the boiling status of their pot, on iOS, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.
-
New School Logo Generator: a website, as a parody of the new identity design of The New School, for students to play with their New School-style logo ideas.
Also, I’ve included my several pet projects, such as interactive websites and visual designs.
