The Opportunity

Have you ever been between jobs and got stressed out looking at your bank account going down? Have you wanted to pick up some quick gigs, because you just moved to a new city and would like to explore the neighbourhoods midweek when it’s not so crowded? A lot of us have been going through this experience at some point, including myself.

How would you look for a temp gig? Google ‘temp work near me’ or go look at Craigslist postings? Walk up to a restaurant to ask if they need an extra server this evening? Go to a temp…

The Ask

Walk down the street and ask any person if they buy coffee online, you’re very likely to get a no. E-commerce space is increasingly gaining popularity and there are millions of products that consumers are buying online. However, consumers still prefer to buy many products in-store, such as coffee. The e-commerce experience of getting coffee products is still quite different from an in-store one. Our challenge for this project is to design an e-commerce website for coffee products that brings it closer to an in-store experience.

Project Overview

For this tourism campaign and responsive website project, I chose to promote Hanoi, my hometown. Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam with 5 million people. Its famous for its culture, street food, busy streets filled with motorbikes, cheap goods, and friendly locals. It’s already a popular tourist destination; however, there’re other unique experiences one can have, especially through the lens of a local person (Hanoian).

Main pages:

• Homepage: landing page that introduces the Hanoi Like a Local website
• Hustle Bustle: One day itinerary for travellers that are into fast pace and busy city vibe
• Chill Out: One day itinerary…

The Ask

As an outdoor enthusiast, I was thrilled to have an outdoor-related app for one of my UI Design projects at RED Academy. The ask was to create an engaging, impactful and well-designed UI Library from lo to high fidelity for an app called Campvibes. Using Campvibes is a quick and easy way to keep track
of all your outdoor activities and get inspiration for where to go next.

Key functionalities:

• Find and explore campsites and hiking trails near them
• Keep track of campsites and hikes they plan to visit/have visited
• Share the campsites/trails with friends

These are the four wireframes…

Introduction

My first project at RED Academy’s UI Design program was to create a type spec in the form of a landing page for Tungsten.

Research

Before learning about typography in my UI class, I wasn’t into this typeface when I first saw it. After my research and learning about the rich history and how much character this typeface has, I slowly became a fan of Tungsten.

Tungsten was designed in 2009 at the famous foundry Hoefler & Co. (H&Co), by Hoefler & Frere-Jones. …
