Capstone Project: One Stop Shopper
One Stop Shopper is a mobile-friendly website that tracks prices and stock of products sold in stores, which focuses on essentials for combatting COVID-19. The intention of this website is for users to find the product that they need and which stores contain nearby contain these products, so users do not visit as many stores in order to find their desired product.

Egg Gacha
A website designed for mobile and desktop to have the player be aware of the practices of gacha. The purpose is for people to give it a try and see how fast they can obtain an “UR” grade egg, while reading the messages that eventually show up after a while.
Viral Newspaper
A game design project back in Spring of 2019 in which I design a game and its mechanics. For this purpose, I mocked a game and how it would work. Inspiration of this gameplay comes from the popular game “Papers, Please”, and “Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You”. The premise of the game is to revive the newspaper industry by populating a newspaper’s contents with news obtained directly from social media.
