Players can immerse themselves in VR, navigating a life-sized chessboard for a unique gaming experience.

In a collaborative university project, I spearheaded the front-end design for a hypothetical eScooter company's website, demonstrating my UI/UX design skills. Utilizing Flask, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I developed the site's interface, focusing on a seamless user experience while my teammates handled additional development tasks. The site boasts a captivating home page featuring a simulated booking system, where users can reserve scooters at designated locations. Key features include a comprehensive account system, admin controls, and secure sign-in. Bookings trigger confirmation emails, simulating a complete user journey.
In a voluntary effort, I designed a website for "Fight Hunger Now," a charity aimed at feeding the underprivileged. This project, one of my first using Figma, let donors directly impact chosen areas, marrying my web design skills development with meaningful contribution. My involvement not only advanced my proficiency in Figma but also allowed me to create an accessible platform facilitating crucial support for those in need.
