The Merch is an enhanced online presence for a local screen print shop in Carrboro, designed to improve user experience and reflect the brand's unique identity. I utilized HTML and CSS to create a clean, streamlined design, informed by UX research that included visiting the shop. This hands-on approach provided insights into customer interactions and the shop's ambiance. The revamped website simplifies navigation and improves accessibility, ensuring a seamless experience for users while effectively representing The Merch and its vibrant community.
Chapel Chill is an innovative app that connects college students with social events on campus, promoting safety and inclusivity. I created an advanced mockup in Figma, featuring a vibrant main page for easy browsing of nearby events. The event details screen includes essential information, engaging images, and an RSVP option. A personal events page allows users to manage their interests by displaying bookmarked events and calendar entries. Chapel Chill combines a social atmosphere with intuitive design, making it the go-to app for enhancing the college experience.
