With style, quality, and community in mind, I personally design and handcraft each piece of fine jewelry with genuine precious metals and gems. Pieces feature techniques from soldering, to silver clay, to beadwork. I sell in-person at Claremont Colleges flea markets and on my e-commerce site. While stock is typically made before markets, I often work directly with customers to design custom pieces as well.
My team, 'The AM Club', won third place at the 2023 CMC x Intuit Idea Jam. During the annual eight-hour Product Management case competition at the Claremont Colleges, we conducted user research through interviews and searches, generated ideas using the Design for Delight process, and created a slide deck to pitch our final solution. In order to help small businesses attract more customers, we proposed for an extension to Intuit's MailChimp that focuses on social media with a more specialized AI assistant, and most uniquely, features a business-matchmaking tool we called Collaboration Corner. I created a rough wireframe on Figma, linked here. The competition was presented and judged by Intuit Product Managers.
Meet Paved in Green, a resource for individuals who want to take their first steps into making meaningful lifestyle changes for the sake of our planet's health. I created the concept for the project, including the functions of each module, and designed the website with visual/emotional impact, flow, and immersion in mind via a Figma mockup.
