Hi! I'm August.

I'm a self-taught nerd, vinyl enthusiast, rabbit dad, and emerging UX/UI Designer.

My dream is to design products and experiences that empower individuals, tell stories, improve well-being, and create novel interactions.

Case Studies

UI overhaul for an AI-powered study aid

Deckhub

Collaborating with Deckhub's founders, I employed research, prototyping, and testing to revamp the product's UI and information architecture, ensuring user's needs were at the heart of every design choice.

CASE STUDY

Designing a web app for healthcare

Nova Health

I was tasked with designing the web application for a biotech startup utilizing a Large Language Model. In collaboration with the founders, I conducted user research on user flows and pain points within the Prior Authorization process, identifying solutions to reduce friction in key healthcare processes.

CASE STUDY

Creating a marketplace for retro gamers

RetroInfinite

As part of the Google UX Design program, I was tasked with designing a responsive app for desktop and mobile. To make a niche hobby like retro gaming accessible to everyone, I prioritized designing for those who were both new to and enthusiastic about retro games.

CASE STUDY

Ordering takeout, but made effective

FM Ramen

My first project for the Google UX Design program was to create a dedicated food delivery app. To stand out in a saturated market, the app offers a seamless user flow that addresses the user pain points of its competitors.

CASE STUDY

Creative Exercises

Diving deeper into responsive design

Pigeon

My initiative behind this project was to design an app prototype utilizing a mobile-first approach and atomic design principles. Through the design process, I demonstrate mastery of Figma's auto layout, variable, and component features, as well as breakpoints between devices.

VIEW PROJECT

An energy drink for college students

Owl-Night

As part of my undergraduate degree, I designed the branding and packaging for a study aid targeted at college students. The product draws inspiration from student life and makes a case for itself as a necessity for finals season.

VIEW PROJECT

Match the kicks to the artist

Sneaker Jams

As a fan of music, shoes, and poster design, I created a series of posters inspired by musicians and their favorite pair of sneakers. While the performer traditionally overshadowed the sneakers, these designs place the latter directly under the spotlight.
