Instagram Video Call Re-Design
Being in a long-distance relationship, I always found Instagram's video calling experience to have several potential misclicks. Further, the UI prevents one from properly viewing their friends.
Working on this alone, I re-designed the icons to be recognized easily and changed their placement to prevent misclicks. Additionally, I included a way to toggle 'in-call view' to provide users with choices if they didn't want to use the extra features on a video call.
KUMI Loyalty App
Research insights from post-secondary students showed that users wanted to engage with local businesses but couldn't support them monetarily.
In a 4-person team, I was the UX writer & co-created the design system.
KUMI is a loyalty app that rewards users for engaging with local businesses using monetary & non-monetary interactions. As the writer, I provided quirky copy to fit the app’s playful vibe. I also co-created the design system to make a consistent app & familiarize my team with components.
