Interface Design for Oldenborg
Designing a Student Portal for the Oldenborg Language Learning Community
Goal: Meet user needs for autonomy over their engagement with Oldenborg’s various requirements. Flip the script from “admin are pressuring me” -> “I’m in charge of my own participation”
Deliverable: A portal enabling users to track attendance and preview upcoming events. This portal is also gamified to foster friendly competition and engagement with the language tables, Oldenborg’s signature program.
My role: Researcher, designer, interviewer
Tools: Figma, User testing

“My Identity, Politics, and Teaching Are All Bound Up”
Magazine issue investigating the intersections of race, gender, and academic hierarchies at Scripps College.
Goal: Learn more about the tenure process at Scripps – which is not often discussed among students. Focus on the challenges and institutional barriers faced by female faculty of color in particular.
Deliverable: A magazine issue presenting the journey of three faculty members to becoming tenured. They described the emotional labor of supporting students, long-running disagreements with other faculty, and self-advocacy of their time at Scripps.
My role: Interviewer, writer
Tools: Canva, hand-drawn art
