Duke Class Planner
Duke’s “What If Report” — the tool every student uses to plan classes toward their degree — was confusing and stressful enough that most students kept external spreadsheets instead. For my certificate capstone, our team redesigned it as the “Better What If”.

ClinWiki
ClinWiki is a non-profit providing crowd-sourced clinical trial information, making it easier for patients to find a trial. I worked with them on a redesign of their experience — my first taste of UX with a real client.
I wrote the project brief (goals, methods, deliverable timeline), ran research online and through user interviews, and delivered a design doc with wireframes, research findings, and future considerations.
