    Chor-Us
    This project focuses on designing a mobile app that enables musicians to easily discover, connect, and collaborate with one another. The design process used will explore user experience by interface design principles to ensure accessibility and ease-of-use engagement for users.

    Photography

    In the summer at the end of 2023, I purchased my first camera, a Panasonic Lumix G85. Since then, I’ve taken it on many trips, capturing landscapes and moments as I walk, ride, and climb around New Zealand. I’ve taught myself how to take better photos, focusing on composition, scene setup, and camera settings, and have even won categories in small club competitions. Attached is a link to a Google photo album of selected photos.
