UC Berkeley Extension
UX Design Certificate
Overview
Muzik Mystro, a music app, project was a collaborative effort with Clara Azulay, Emily Lu, Rebecca Suby-Long, Sowmya Bharadwaj, and Steinar Shellenberger as part of the UC Berkeley Extension UX Design Certificate program. Our team was tasked with developing an application within the healthcare and education space. We chose to focus on designing a solution for individuals with dyslexia, recognizing the unique challenges they face when reading music notation.
Key obstacles include difficulties with visual tracking, decoding musical symbols, maintaining rhythm and timing, and processing dense visual information on a page. Our approach centered on addressing these challenges through thoughtful, user-centered design solutions aimed at improving accessibility and the overall learning experience.
Graphic Design
Overview
I set out to challenge and refine my typographic and graphic design skills while developing a deeper understanding of efficient workflows, including the use of shortcuts and advanced tools within the software. Through the creation of a fashion magazine, book, and a series of posters, I gained valuable insight into the importance of precision and attention to detail in the design process. This experience reinforced the significance of establishing a strong typographic structure and, most importantly, cultivating originality in both conceptual thinking and visual execution.
