WIX PLAYGROUND ACADEMY—PROJECTS


The Wix Playground Academy internship encouraged experimentation and self-expression, while also providing real-world clients to collaborate with. I honed skills in web design including interaction, UI, animation, and layout.



GINA LE SALON

2020

TYPE: WEB DESIGN

SOFTWARE: FIGMA, ILLUSTRATOR, AFTER EFFECTS

TEAM: LYNDA ZHOU, ALLISON HAO

BRIEF
There are many hair salons throughout New York City, but clients visit Gina le Salon specifically to seek out Gina and her team of talented stylists. My team and I redesigned Gina le Salon's website to make it feel more sleek and couture, while also emphasizing the personality and warmth of actual salon.

SOLUTION
My team and I created a minimalist website using bold images and sophisicated type to reinforce the idea that this was a high-end experience. We made sure not only include images of satisfied clients, but a dedicated section to each stylist and highlight the individual qualities they offer. Our client helped inform the design direction, while also accepting our input; overall, this was a deeply personal and collaborative project.




QUIP

2020

TYPE: WEB DESIGN, MOTION DESIGN

SOFTWARE: FIGMA, ILLUSTRATOR, AFTER EFFECTS


BRIEF
quip is a oral healthcare brand that wants to prove good design can have more impact on our health than quick fix gimmicks. They wanted us to design a landing page for quip’s “Healthy Habits”.

SOLUTION
I wanted the design direction of this landing page to be more dynamic and fun to draw in more users. I used trendy expanded type, pastel colors, and motion graphics to achieve a vibrant and eye-catching design.
