As one of 3 product designers of Mermory, I got to design an AI-powered flashcard platform that gave students creative autonomy over how they study. Unlike Quizlet or Anki, Mermory let users personalize their cards with stickers, themes, and design elements through a Creator Studio—while maintaining industry-standard learning science through FSRS spaced repetition.

With the nature of the team size, I got to work on lots of different projects as you can see below:

I designed & shipped the “Create” menu pop up. Users needed a clear starting point for building flashcard decks. The modal gives them three distinct paths — Creative Mode, Quick-Add, or Upload — so they can choose the workflow that fits how they work.

I designed the promotional banners for the Explore page. The banners surface Mermory’s latest features like Import AI, Creator Studio, and social invites, giving users a reason to discover more every time they browse.

I designed the flow to exit out of the Creator Studio. After publishing a deck, users are celebrated with a congrats moment and guided toward their next step, either heading to their Library or jumping straight into studying.

I redesigned the hero section of the landing page. Shifting from a vertical to a horizontal layout gave the section more visual balance, letting the product preview and the headline share the stage and make a stronger first impression.

My vision for Mermory was to support users' creative autonomy. The design language was built around warmth and comfort, a space where creativity could thrive.

JAMS Scheduler is an enterprise workload automation and job scheduling platform — essentially software that helps large IT organizations automate, orchestrate, and monitor critical backend processes across their entire tech stack.

Notable users of JAMS: Bank of America, Coca-Cola Canada, CVS Health, Comcast.

ThisWaay UX studio was brought in to reduce friction in critical workflows while increasing user confidence and speed.

We identified 3 primary user personas of JAMS.

JAMS is an enterprise workload automation platform built for complex, data-heavy operations. Despite its power, the product had accumulated significant usability debt, making it especially hard for new users to get up to speed. Through collaborative sessions with JAMS's long-tenured staff, we surfaced two recurring pain points: a steep first-time user experience and interfaces that obscured rather than clarified.

Here's what we did:

Before

After

The original Home screen offered little beyond documentation links. We rebuilt it into a live dashboard: job status, schedule projections, quick actions, and agent health all visible on arrival.

Before

After

The original Monitor view had no entry point — just rows. We added a live status summary so operators could orient immediately: what's running, what failed, what's queued. Faster triage, less cognitive load, same underlying data.

Before

After

Picking an execution method meant scrolling a long, context-free list with no guidance. We redesigned it with search, categorization, and descriptions — so users can choose with confidence, not guesswork.

The redesigned job creation flow was incorporated into JAMS' roadmap for their 2026 web app release. The execution method selector, AI job creation feature, and quick-win usability fixes were all identified as priority items for the MVP — directly shaping the product direction for a platform used by enterprise clients across finance, retail, and manufacturing.

Portico — formed through the merger of Campus Ivy, CourseKey, and Verity IQ — inherited a fragmented ecosystem of tools. Career school students were forced to navigate 4 separate web portals and 2 mobile apps to complete basic daily tasks like logging skills, checking attendance, and making payments.

This Waay Design Studio was brought in to define the north star for a unified student mobile experience, delivering both a long-term vision and tactical design guidance for Q4 execution.

Before

Combining multiple platforms creates fragmented experiences. Credit-based students had to use one platform and traditional students had to use another. The payments and attendance logging were all separated.

Portico was built from multiple acquired platforms — meaning students had to navigate different apps to complete basic tasks like logging attendance, tracking skills, and making payments.

But the fragmentation went deeper than just the number of apps. Each platform had developed its own language and structure for the same underlying concepts. As shown below, one platform organized skill tracking under a Major Study hierarchy and called the primary input “Amount,” while the other used a Checklist structure and called it “Count” — two different words for the same thing, in two different systems, that students were expected to use simultaneously.

This created a core design challenge: before we could unify the experience visually, we had to unify it conceptually.

After

The redesigned Courses experience unified attendance, grades, and course progression into a single coherent view, so students could understand where they stood in their program without switching between apps.

Before

After

The existing experience required students to log clinical tasks through a desktop-first interface with no mobile consideration. We redesigned the task logging flow as a guided mobile experience — step-by-step inputs, clear progress tracking, and an AI assistant on hand — so students could log in the moment, not after the fact.

After

Previously, messages were siloed at the course level — meaning students could miss critical updates from other parts of their program. The unified messaging center brings together communications from all departments and instructors in one place, with read status and message type filters to help students prioritize what needs their attention

Students were bouncing between four portals and two apps to do basic things like check grades or log a skill. In 8 weeks, we gave Portico a north star for one unified experience, plus the tactical design work to start closing the gap this quarter.

2026 UCI Design-a-thon Judge

Theme: Chaos into Clarity

I got to be one of the design judges for UCI's 2026 Design-a-thon! Truly an amazing experience I got to share with not only the students but also the incredible judges I got to connect with.

I’m a recent graduate from UCLA aspiring to leave a positive mark on this world, my community, and family through my design craft. I came to design as an art major, a creative mind looking for a career that could actually use that instinct and I hope to continue to get better at this craft. A career is just one part of who someone is, and I hope my work in product design is one of many windows into mine. I’m a fast learner, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep moving forward :)
