I am life-longer, passionate about team work and doing my work well. After graduating from a Master of Design degree from UNSW, I have completed a 6 months coding bootcamp, and with a UX course currently underway. With my fellow team-mate, I have won GovHack 2023, a nation-wide data-themed hackathon as the UX/UI designer. Feel free to check out some of my personal projects: Roundabout Lookup - a tool for Roundabout, a non-for-profit that provide disadvantages families with quality baby and child items. The tool is a heatmap that shows which suburb in Canberra is most likely to donate baby and child items, and can be used for volunteer to schedule pick ups. I used figma to prototype it. https://shorturl.at/xPQ47 Chaperone - a website made for the SheCodes coding bootcamp. It is a crowding website that help charities crowdfunding for small projects. I worked in the backend and frontend using python, django, , html, css, react.
