UX/UI Design Showcase

A recent but significant work I've done was at the University of Toronto’s ECE Department where I pivoted between UX research, front-end development, and production design. While content and accessibility were my main tasks, I did manage the entire digital lifecycle for both the public website and the intranet.

Fragmented information flow was hindering student recruitment and departmental engagement. I restructured through Figma and handled WordPress implementation.

Business Impact: Solved recruitment drop-off by ensuring high-value traffic was routed to core site pages.

User Impact: Reduced time-to-value for students by reorganizing content into accessible architecture.

My journey hasn't been defined by a single UX specialization, but by a relentless desire to solve riddles across the entire UX spectrum. Below, you can explore a major GenAI studio transformation I led, followed by a curated list of the various projects I’ve tackled throughout my career.
