  1. Expedia Project

  1. ChefEats Project

This project aimed to address the “structural inequality” problem - lack of nutrition in busy individuals and in low income communities. I'm responsible for User Experience Design and App Wireframe.

  1. Temperature and Precipitation Maps

This project aimed to plot temperature and precipitation maps for North America using a remote server.

  1. Visualization of Crime Report

This is a curriculum project at UW.
The project was based on the data that was collected and published in 2013 by the FBI. The project aimed to visualize relationship between age, race and crime ,and hopefully provides insight on how to decrease crime rate in the future.

  1. Page Transition

This is a simple demonstration of animated transitions between pages. This project contains three cards with different themes. While the user drags right or left to view another card, both the presenting card and the card that's going to be presented will move along path and zoom in. The animated transition will give the flow of websites an extra touch of top-notch and smoothness. I used the inVision Studio to create this project.
