Four-Legged Friend's:
Pet Adoption Website

This project, completed for the Google UX Designer Certification program, involved creating a website for a local animal shelter. I aimed to boost pet adoption rates by designing fun, dynamic, and detailed pet bios, along with easy appointment booking options. I enjoyed crafting a brand and tone for this mock company's web presence.

Explore images, the full case study, and interact with the high-fidelity prototype in Adobe XD below.

Four-Legged Friend's Website Homepage shows a carousel of various pets of the week.

Here is the landing screen you would be sent to if you pressed the Donate Today! call to action button.

Here is an example of what the pet bio page looks like. Each pet bio page contains a table of important to know Pet Stats. This will help a potential adopter know quickly if a certain pet is suited for their needs and lifestyle. Under the pet stats is the pet's bio.

This screen shows a user searching through the various pets at the shelter. On the homepage pets are grouped by the type of animal, Dogs, Cats, and then Small Pets. Clicking on "see more" would take you to the landing page for that pet type.

Shown here is the landing page of all the cats we have at the shelter.

EmotiWorld:
Designing for Social Good
Responsive Website & App Where Kids Can Learn to Identify & How to Manage Emotions

This is a project I developed for the Google UX Designer Certification program, where I created an app and responsive site to help kids learn about emotions. As a former 2nd-grade teacher, I blended my teaching experience with my passion for UX design. Considering kids' preferences and technology issues, I developed the app and responsive site from scratch.

Below you can view images from the site & app, the full case study for this project, & a link to interact with the high-fidelity prototype in Adobe XD.
