Voice User Interface

UX design should be accessible to all types of people. With so much focus on visual aids and stimulation, a lot of us forget that UX can exist in an all-inclusive space. That being said, this project aimed to utilize voice as a responsive component to interface building. The use of Alexa and voice chatbots has opened my eyes to a limitless world of voice interfaces, and I wanted to apply it to a constructive project that can be used on my college campus.

Due to mental stressors from the academic school year, there is an increase in stressed and anxious students on campus. There's a need to find a designated and isolated space to engage in self-care for mental health. This can easily be resolved by creating a space in one of NYU's academic buildings where students can go to engage in self-care. That being said, my team and I decided to do branding and content creation for a "Zen Den". This space is aided with the help of Alexa chatbot skills that were programmed to give meditative exercises when prompted through its chatbot. Thus, students could engage in a variety of activities from a breathing exercise to a five-minute meditation. Here is our work!



Project Outline:










This was such a fun creative project to give back to our fellow students. The research and practices of usability testing really expanded my work with interface design and workflows. Overall, this project has developed into a really thorough understanding of what UI looks like to me.

Logo Project

Image
The prompt for this project was to design a logo for a fictional company or organization of my choice using Adobe InDesign. The logo had to effectively convey the brand identity and values of the company. I considered the design's color scheme, typography, and symbolism. In addition, I explored different creative elements and techniques within Adobe InDesign and Illustrator to bring the logo to life. Concept: My concept for the logo started with brand identity. I wanted to create a smartphone application that allowed users to social network based on their astrological compatibility. That is where the name "moony" came to life. Being the name of a playlist I had at the age of 12, I think that the name brought personal meaning as well as life to the brand I intended to create. After final thoughts and brainstorms I decided that for the logo, the name of this brand was to be illustrated solely out of astrological sign symbols. Since a lot of astrology signs (Virgo, Taurus, P

Creative Coding

This was probably one of my most fun creative projects. Reliant solely upon C++ and CSS, I was able to produce the output for a creative coding project that allows users to interact with abstract technological artwork. I wanted to use abstract forms of basic shapes to create a stimulating and immersive experience for the user. Through each keyboard selection, a "scene" is changed to transport users into a world of lively code. These structures were developed by hand using practices learned through coding experience.  I also included some game design and interactive projects including iterations of the popular game "Flappy Bird" and a firework landscape. Enjoy! Feel free to scrub through the coding structures which I have extensively included below! Creative Coding Art: /*int option=1; int xPos=200; int xDir=1; void setup() {   size(500, 500); } void draw() {   background(165,78,78);   stroke(240,160,160);      for(int x=0; x<width; x=x+20){   line(x,0,x,height);

Print Menu

Image
The mission statement for this project was to effectively design  a print menu for a trendy café using Adobe InDesign. I was prompted to include sections for appetizers, main courses, desserts, and beverages. I made sure to incorporate high-quality images, clear and readable font choices, and a cohesive color scheme that reflects the café's atmosphere. Most importantly, my goal was to work on organizing the menu in a visually appealing layout that enhances the overall dining experience for customers. Brainstorming and wireframing: I decided that I wanted to create my screen menu around the concept of a Canadian cafe and bistro that one would picture eating at, let's say, a cozy and discrete walk-in restaurant in the heart of Soho, NY. That being said, I pictured the theme of this menu being a very minimalistic and contemporary design with an emphasis on color themes of a cozy warm fall afternoon. Although this restaurant would be open all year round, I had a lingering thought o
