    For Makis Fortis, I crafted a dynamic visual identity system and athlete profile book that captures the essence of strength, performance, and personal achievement using Canva and Adobe Photoshop.

    I designed the striking, award-winning cover for Empowered Postpartum Planning Guide by Dr. Erin Tenney, triumphing in a global 99designs competition among dozens of entries to create a visually compelling book that stands out in the parenting and self-help genres. Blending AI tools for innovative imagery with expert graphic design, I captured the essence of postpartum empowerment—conveying strength, transformation, and body-positive recovery through harmonious colors, feminine typography, and motivational motifs that emotionally connect with new mothers navigating birth, healing, and motherhood.

    uniE621 FlowCare
    Flow Care originated from the critical menstrual health needs of rural Ugandan girls served by Plavio Uganda—where scarce facilities, limited pads, and stigma cause school absences—beginning with my primary Figma wireframes that I then used as templates within Figma Make AI for this Contra competition entry, blending human-centered UX with smart automation. These foundational wireframes drove intuitive workflows featuring user-friendly navigation, accessible UI components, symptom-tracking sliders, clear medical data visualizations, and offline functionality to deliver knowledge, confidence, and discreet cycle support. This inclusive app design handles sensitive topics through simple onboarding, calendar integration, and culturally sensitive aesthetics, highlighting my dedication to impactful health tech for underserved African communities. https://www.twine.net/signin UXDesign UIDesign MobileApp Figma FigmaMake HealthTech MenstrualHealth WomenHealth NGODesign SocialImpact Accessibility ContraCompetition HealthcareUX AppDesign AfricanNGO PeriodTracker EmpathyDesign

    In this volunteer UX/UI project for Plavio Uganda—a Christian NGO transforming rural Ugandan communities through spiritual growth, education, economic empowerment, and social well-being—I redesigned their website using Figma to create an accessible, heartfelt digital hub. Facing challenges like low-bandwidth users and diverse audiences (donors, volunteers, locals), I conducted UX research, built intuitive information architecture, wireframes, and responsive prototypes prioritizing mobile-first design and cultural sensitivity. The result: A visually compelling platform with clear calls-to-action that boosts engagement, donations, and program awareness, reflecting years of my hands-on work supporting African NGOs. https://www.twine.net/signin UXDesign UIDesign WebRedesign Figma NGODesign VolunteerDesign SocialImpact ResponsiveWeb NonprofitUX AfricaNGO UXResearch Wireframes CommunityEmpowerment AccessibilityDesign
    uniE621 Unpredictable: The Walk In and Out of Darkness
    In my work on Unpredictable: The Walk In and Out of Darkness, I went beyond a simple website redesign to craft a digital sanctuary that honors Honey Kasper's raw memoir of surviving childhood trauma, abuse, cancer, and 79 surgeries—a powerful story of resilience, faith, and transformation. The original site was outdated and disconnected, failing to capture the emotional depth needed to reach readers in the memoir and self-help space, so I transformed it into an immersive, intuitive experience with thoughtful UX/UI design, including wireframes, prototypes, and seamless user flows. I developed a cohesive visual identity through evocative colors, typography, and imagery, designed the striking "From Darkness to Triumph" logo plus supporting graphics, harnessed Leonardo AI for unique thematic visuals, and brought it all to life with responsive Elementor development on WordPress. https://www.twine.net/signin UXDesign UIDesign WebRedesign WordPress Elementor Figma GraphicDesign LogoDesign VisualIdentity AIArt LeonardoAI AuthorWebsite
