Mentorship
I was honored to serve as a mentor for a UX design cohort team and the 2nd Annual Davis Design-a-Thon. During the six-week intensive UX cohort, I mentored the Letterboxd redesign team, guiding them through the design process, providing feedback, and helping them refine their UX/UI project. Their hard work ultimately earned them the Best Visual & Interactive Design award.
Outreach & Events
As Outreach & Events Coordinator, I co-executed the first-ever Davis Design-a-Thon, bringing together over 100 participants. I helped organize design workshops, collaborated with other design organizations, and invited judges from the FAANG industry. Additionally, our external team organized panels and workshops to promote design education within Davis Design Interactive, offering members insights into the UX/UI industry. Some of our key events included: UX Intern Panel, Breaking Into UX: Industry Panel, Landing a UX Position: Fireside Chat with UX Hiring Managers and Cohort Presentation Day
