My UX Portfolio
During my seven course Google UX Design curriculum I was tasked with developing and executing on three different projects. Please find detailed information below about these projects.
​
As I have been doing web design professionally for some years now, please see real-world examples of my work at my company's website.

Food Truck App
Throughout the project, I conducted extensive user research to understand the needs and preferences of taco lovers. Using wireframes and prototypes, I iteratively refined the app's interface, focusing on intuitive navigation, seamless customization of orders, and effortless payment options. The feedback received and the iterative design process helped me fine-tune the app to align with both business objectives and user expectations.
​
Exploring the Turbo Taco Ordering App project will give you a glimpse into my early journey as a UX designer and how I embraced the design thinking process to craft a delightful user experience. While Turbo Taco itself may be fictional, the skills and insights gained during this project set the foundation for my subsequent ventures in the UX design field.
​
Feel free to delve into the details of the Turbo Taco Ordering App project below to understand my design process, key learnings, and the impact of user-centered design on creating a seamless ordering experience. If you're interested in learning more or discussing how my expertise can benefit your organization, please don't hesitate to reach out.
In this introductory project, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the world of UX design and gain hands-on experience in the entire design process from start to finish. Although Turbo Taco is a fictional taco truck based in Chicago, the project allowed me to apply user-centered design principles and create an engaging ordering app for a delightful taco experience.

Movie Website
For the second project in this certificate program, I had the opportunity to design a user-centric website for a fictional independent movie theater located on the north side of Chicago. I decided to call it Uncle Charlie's Movie House, which is a reference to Joseph Cotten's character in my favorite Hitchcock film, Shadow of a Doubt.
Throughout this project, I immersed myself in the world of UX design and applied my skills to create a seamless online experience for moviegoers. From start to finish, I engaged in extensive user research to understand the specific needs and preferences of our target audience.
​
Using wireframes and prototypes, I iteratively refined the website's design, focusing on providing detailed movie information, intuitive navigation, and a straightforward ticket ordering process. Incorporating user feedback and industry best practices, I aimed to deliver an engaging and consumer-friendly platform that sets Uncle Charlie's Movie House apart from other theaters.
​
By exploring the Uncle Charlie's Movie House project, you'll gain insights into my design process, key learnings, and the impact of user-centered design on creating an informative and enjoyable movie browsing experience. While Uncle Charlie's Movie House is a hypothetical theater, the skills and knowledge acquired during this project have prepared me for real-world challenges in the UX design field.
​
Feel free to delve into the details of the Uncle Charlie's Movie House project to discover how I crafted a website that meets the needs of movie enthusiasts and supports informed ticket purchasing decisions.

Community App Project
For the final project in my UX Design certification course, I was tasked with building an app for the betterment of a community. While it was a pretty broad prompt, I immediately knew what app I would build. While the first two projects were tied to fake businesses and were simply a way for me to learn the UX design process, this third project was notably different; through the research process - most notably competitive audits and user feedback - it became clear to me that I was iterating on an app idea that is fairly unique and has real-world market potential.
​
Because of its potential market viability, I am unable to publicly disclose the project details on this website. However, I would be thrilled to provide more information and showcase the project directly to interested individuals. If you are an interested party, please feel free to contact me directly. I would be delighted to discuss the project in further detail and share my design process, research insights, and outcomes.
