Irish Ship Wreck Online (website redesign)
Software used: Figma March 22, 2024 (Individual Project)
During my time at Algonquin College, I worked on a project where I had to redesign an outdated website. The assignment included coming up with a new logo and finding colours that would go well with the website's theme. It was a different experience because the first website was improperly designed and crowded with content. This project made me aware of how important colour selection is, as it has a big impact on the website overall. In today's world, 80% of websites are visited on mobile devices. I also learned the value of designing the mobile screen first.

Vegetarian Restaurant
Software used: Figma April 19, 2024 (Group Project)
I worked on a group project with my teammates to craft a website for a vegetarian restaurant. We had to carefully assess a number of important elements, like branding, understanding the client requirement, audience who will visit the restaurant, demographics, personas, psychology, user research, colours, typography, etc. In this project, my contribution was to create wireframes and Prototypes for both mobile and desktop. This project provided me with valuable experience of collaborating with like-minded people and new learning from my teammates, which improved my understanding for UI design.

Maple Brook Library
Software used: Photoshop March 11, 2024 (Individual Project)
I worked on a unique project called "Maple Brook Library" in which, instead of using the standard tool Figma to design a website, we were asked to create the complete design using Photoshop. This experience offered me to learn new functionalities of the tool and gain a new perspective towards web designing. The project proved that, in the absence of Figma, Photoshop is a strong application for website designing.
Flower Shop
Software used: Figma February 15, 2024 (Individual Project)
This was a special project in which I designed a website prototype for a flower shop, my first website design ever. I was originally intimidated by Figma because I had just recently learned how to use it, but eventually I learned to enjoy the process. I also learned how to design components in Figma, which allowed me to make changes to components that were automatically updated across the frame, which I felt was really cool.
