Expanded the checkout flow from shipping to payment to create a more seamless purchase experience.

Key design considerations included:

• Added a progress indicator to provide orientation and reassurance throughout checkout.
• Clarified shipping methods by showing estimated arrival dates instead of delivery duration, helping users form clearer expectations.
• Introduced a default payment selection, which could later adapt to the user’s most frequently used method.

Next steps

• Implement Luhn validation for card inputs to instantly detect errors and validate card type.
• Refine primary button microcopy to match the selected payment method (e.g., “Pay with PayPal”).
• Enable auto-detection for specific fields (e.g., detect country or state based on phone number).
• Improve inline validation feedback by distinguishing between incomplete and incorrect inputs (e.g., “Card number incomplete” vs. “Invalid card number”).

I'm exploring the flow from cart to checkout, focusing on the cart stage for now. The goal was to create a clear, reviewable space where users can easily confirm their selected items, quantities, and price details before moving forward.

I designed a smarter way to add tasks—just type or say it, and the system detects details like date, time, and reminders.

This reduces clicks and fields, turning scheduling into a smooth, conversational experience.

I experimented with expressing weather in natural language rather than numbers. Focused on minimal layout, soft gradients, and friendly microcopy to make forecasts feel more human.

I wanted to create shortcuts to the actions I do most often on my Mac — things like searching directly in Google, opening YouTube, taking a screenshot, or quickly putting my computer to sleep. By grouping these into a quick-action dock, I can reduce extra clicks or keyboards and reach my frequent tasks much faster.

Learnings

• Reduce interaction cost – Auto-focus the first field so it’s immediately ready for input
• Use top-aligned labels – Leads to the fastest form completion rates
• Provide inline validation – Show validation messages close to the label/field for quick correction
• Simplify fields – Combine inputs (e.g., full name instead of first/last name) to reduce effort
• Offer flexibility – Include social login options and a clear link to log in for existing accounts

I wanted to make tipping faster and clearer. The design lets people pick a common % quickly, while still adjusting easily if needed, with the tip and new total shown right away.

A useful next step would be adding split-bill functionality.

Have you ever mis-clicked a dismissal button on ads? It is probably intentional but it makes me distrust the app.

Starting from that frustration, I explored how popped-out floating circular icons can improve clarity. By detaching actions like close, search, and add from their containers, they become more immediate, discoverable, and tactile, strengthening action hierarchy and reducing mistakes.

I wanted to design a post-visit survey integrated with Google Maps that allows customers to leave feedback on the exact dishes they ordered. Instead of a generic review, this approach captures dish-level ratings and quick notes, making it easier for customers to share their experience and for restaurants to gain actionable insights to improve menus.

I wanted to design a bookmarking feature for YouTube that makes it easy to capture timestamps or sections, so I can revisit those meaningful moments anytime.

I was curious to reimagine the classic iPod in a modern style. My goal was to preserve its unique round gesture by using a circular music timeline, while also stacking album covers horizontally to capture a similar browsing feel. I also used this as an opportunity to experiment with glassmorphism.

A redesign of Amazon’s delivery status as a widget/notification. It lets users see progress and arrival time at a glance, without opening the app.
