Designing for Users
As a technical writer, I’m interested in how my writing and design can help bolster a user’s experience with a product, regardless of whether that product is a white paper, website, or class syllabus.

Usability Testing
A usability report from a semester-long usability test that includes all aspects of the test.
This usability experience encompassed the full spectrum of usability testing: identifying the problem; developing personas; planning and executing the test; and creating deliverables that included presentations and recommended solutions. Working as a group, my team and I worked through these steps while adhering to best practices.

User Experience Proposal
A proposal to examine an app’s user experience, specifically looking at user experience from a learner's perspective.
This class examined how instructional designers can improve learners’ classroom experience. As the first class I took in the OWI graduate certificate program, I applied the user experience principles to an app outside of an online writing scenario.

App Prototype
A prototype of an app developed to help college students reduce stress.
My teammate and I researched and designed this prototype to demonstrate the principles of user interface and user experience. We researched the problem and developed a solution that adhered to best practices in the UI and UX fields. Deliverables included low- and high-fidelity wireframes, a working app prototype, a report, and a project presentation.
