After taking a graphic arts class in highschool, I was missing the time I got to spend messing around on Illustrator, especially making cute little isometric designs (like the one above). Rather than paying for Illustrator, I decided to make this tool (first in processing and then later converted into p5.js). Building it taught me about some basic UI design, and forced me to try and come up with clever ways to build history and save functionalities. Although it's far from perfect, I learned tons from it, and still find it fun to play around with.

My final project for my HarvardX course on Web Design, this was a creative social media platform in which people could share their thought processes regarding certain issues using Pro Con trees. The project used Django for the backend and HTML, CSS, and JS for the frontend. To make this, I had to develop especially complex models (storing trees), and so my skills in django were strongly solidified. In addition, I got some experience with interactive design, as I wanted to make the process of creating trees simple for the user.

This was my first large scale web design project. I tried to be creative, with my notable navigation system (drag and drop), my sleek and unique navbar, and a variety of gradient backgrounds. I was far less experienced in CSS and Javascript then as I am now, but that project helped launch me into my love for the styling of web pages. I also learned tons of CSS from it (although some of the concepts I implemented definitely went over my head back then).

I made this in p5.js as a part of a larger project to make a google chrome extension. The game was run in the tab that expanded when you clicked on the extension in the top right. When building it, I had to utilize google's cloud storage API to make sure progress was maintained. The most fun part of this project was the animation, making sure every little detail looked just like they did in the original game, with the exception of a few details that I thought looked better. Every asset excluding the text was made by me either in Illustrator or using p5.js's basic shapes.
