Product Design
My work aims to build digital communities through innovative media products.

Below are some products I've designed in the past year:
- an app that would aggregate user generated video in order to make riding the New York subway a safer and social experience.
- a mobile and desktop based audiovisual deep dive into NY drill music.
- a website for journalists and news outlets to combat objectivity in journalism and share "where they're coming from".
Subway Social
"Keeping New Yorkers safe and connected through verified, specific and real-time User generated content."
This was my first self-taught try at prototyping on Figma. I created Subway Social in the fall of 2021 as a final project for a class on ideation and prototyping at NYU.
The problem:
In a city where millions of people ride the subway everyday, New Yorkers need a tool that will not only present mapped routes and train times, but will also keep them safe.
As a daily MTA rider, I find myself toggling between three to four apps to find out what's going on underground. From mapping out my route on Google Maps, to checking train times on MyMTA, to refreshing TikTok for videos of the latest subway incident, there isn't one single app that aggregates user generated content (UGC) across platforms and synthesizes it into real-time information that helps users in emergency situations.

An app that
- Aggregates UGC across social media platforms into one feed
- Gives users real-time information on any issues with the subway
- Creates an online community for subway riders to verify information and interact with each other, hence making the subway social.
