Hackathon Websites

Throughout my two-year stint on the nwPlus design team, I worked on 6 of our hackathon websites!
I led the brand and web design for HackCamp, Canada’s biggest beginner-oriented hackathon in 2021 and 2022. I also illustrated sections of the nwHacks and cmd-f 2022/2023 websites as well.

Pluto App

Pluto is an internal-facing hacker management app for the nwPlus team. It uses QR codes to associate important information to hackers, like check-in, food tickets and event attendance.

Workshops

I hosted a handful of “Figma 101” and “Design Basics in Figma” workshops for beginners interested in design! These workshops covered the basic Figma tools and features, color and text styles, basic prototyping, and autolayout!Here’s what some attendees had to say about my workshops :)
