Craigslist Usability Study

ICM514 | Understanding your audience

Craigslist has been a popular online marketplace since 1995. Its simple design and easy access make it a common choice for buying, selling, job hunting, and connecting with the community. However, despite its functionality, the platform’s user experience leaves much to be desired.

Through a comprehensive usability study, this project identified key areas where Craigslist falls short and proposed actionable recommendations to enhance its navigation, security, and overall usability.

MoveWise Branding Package

icm502 | Visual design

For MoveWise, a Connecticut-based startup offering moving and real estate support, I led the full brand identity design from the ground up. This included strategy, visual identity, and digital rollout. After researching competitors and surveying the target audience, I developed a brand rooted in trust, efficiency, and customer care. I created a clean, modern logo, selected a calming color palette, and designed cohesive materials ranging from business cards to a Mailchimp newsletter template. The result is a polished, approachable brand that positions MoveWise as a reliable partner for every step of the moving process.

NaugatuckConnect

icm517 | ideation, prototyping, Testing

This project explores my end-to-end prototyping process for a mobile app concept, emphasizing how early sketching, user testing, and iterative refinement lead to smarter design decisions. Starting with low-fidelity paper wireframes and evolving through mid- and high-fidelity prototypes, I focused on usability, visual hierarchy, and user flow. The case study highlights how prototyping not only uncovers potential issues early but also strengthens the final product through thoughtful, user-informed design.
