Perception Study on AI Labelling

Research, AI, User Research, Perception, UI/UX, Web Design,

If a therapist and an AI say the exact same thing, do people trust them the same? I ran a study to find out. Participants reviewed identical therapy conversations presented through two different interfaces, one labeled as a human therapist and the other as an AI, and rated them on trust, empathy, and usefulness.

ChatNDC beta

Product Design, Figma, UI/UX, Web Design, Data Repository

(this project is in beta and does not have a mobile version yet. please view on pc only) What if AI could give you actually accurate climate policy information? That’s chatNDC — the first AI-powered interface built to deliver trustworthy, real-time insights on countries’ climate commitments.

No hallucinations, no guesswork — just verified data on nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and curated climate documents, right at your fingertips. I designed the chatNDC interface to make navigating climate policy feel a little less like sifting through endless PDFs and a little more like having a smart, reliable friend on speed dial.

  • Title page with words written in a big black font against an off white background words are: "99% of the world breathes unsafe air." "99%" and "unsafe" are in red font.
  • two globes collide. one showing Africa and the other North America. both globes are against a black background and are meant to show global fine particulate pollution.
  • A human form from head to torso in grey showing vibrant colored lungs and little circles flowing into an open mouth. Meant to show how particles in the air affect organs in the body.
  • Map with particulate matter pollution indicated as multicolored dots

#Smogstripes

Product Design, UI/UX, Wix Studio

(note this was created as an interactive installation intended to be viewed on desktop devices) SmogStripes turns invisible air pollution into visuals that catch your eye and your conscience. By transforming climate data into colorful, impactful stripes, hosted on an interactive web installation, we’re making it easier to see, share, and care about the air we all breathe.

Web App for Ostomy Care

Product Design, UI/UX, Figma

Put a finger down if you recently got an Ostomy procedure or are about to get one, have so many questions about how the entire thing works, don’t know where to start and want a system tailor made to fit your specific Ostomy needs without having to scroll through the internet for FAQs.

(Its very niche, I know, but if you put a finger down this app was designed for you!)

NowApp

Product Design, UI/UX, Figma

Finding a job is hard, finding an internship is hard, finding a significant other is hard. I can’t help you with that last one, but I designed an app that can help you with the first two, so that way you can focus on the third! Yay!

KTP UNC Member Management App

Product Design, UI/UX, Figma

Every semester the UNC Chapel Hill KTP Tech fraternity goes through a super intense rushing process where all potential members have to play the hunger games to determine who makes the cut…

JK! But it is a stressful process, and it’s difficult to keep track of potential members and their progress through it all. We designed an app to help with that.

All Wrap Wear by Emerald

Graphic Design, illustration, Adobe Suite

You know whats better than a wrap for your hair? A wrap for your whole body! I worked with a super cool small clothing brand based in New York City to design a set of fabric wraps that you can wear anywhere And everywhere.

I designed each fabric using illustrator, meticulously sketching each design and iterating with feedback from stakeholders. The results were a range of unique and vibrant fabric designs that we are incredibly proud of.

Ugee’s Hair Elixirs

Graphic Design, branding, text & content design

For this project I partnered with Ugee’s Hair Elixirs, a small all-natural hair care product brand based out in Benin, West Africa, to design labels for a line of hair care products.

I created a series of minimalistic label designs, incorporating bright splashes of color and carefully placed visual references (squiggly line = hair textures) for a product aesthetic as clean and natural as the Ugee’s ingredient list.
