My Background
I am a current senior at Princeton University majoring in Architecture. I am also one of the Captains on the Men’s Varsity Track and field team. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in both design and technology. I am always on the lookout for new technologies and new features. I also enjoy thinking about how devices or features could have been made better in the service of the end-user.
My work
In the summer of 2021 I Interned at SUPERCHARGED and was tasked to deliver a newly built Internship Landing Page. I was in charge of the visual and content direction of the website.
In 2020, I decided to create a concept of a mobile version of TigerHub, Princeton’s main portal. The main reason for this was the fact that it was only accessible on computers and tablets. I had found myself in situations where I would have loved to access it on my mobile device but was left to wait to have my computer on me.
Later that year I created a concept for a to-do list app, Order. I was largely motivated by the idea of having a Card UI setup for each day would be make it easier for people to focus on that specific day. I also wanted people to be able to include a space to write down their monthly, weekly and yearly goals. I decided to put this as I thought the goals would act as a motivator to create tasks and complete them.
Lastly, I created a refreshed concept of Tigerbook, which is Princeton’s Student run directory. My motivations were mainly that the UI is outdated and needs a refresh. I drew a lot from the Google Search UI and I also offered a dark mode option.
