Tools used:
27 Nakhsatras
An interactive data visualization that explores the 27 lunar constellations (Nakshatras) through the lens of classical texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Phaladeepika.
The project maps how each Nakshatra relates to planetary rulers, life aims (Purusharthas), energy types (Gunas), and temperaments (Ganas), designed to make complex Vedic concepts more intuitive and engaging.
Tokyo 23 Special Wards Interactive Map
Motivated by my fascination with Tokyo’s distinct structure of 23 self-governed wards, I developed this project to highlight the diversity and unique character of each area. This interactive map captures the essence of Tokyo’s neighborhoods, inviting users to explore their history, culture, and individuality. Through this project, I not only aimed to create an engaging experience but also honed my skills in interactive design, web development, and data visualization.
Yama-melodies, an Interactive Map
I made this project out of a personal interest in Tokyo’s train culture, especially the station jingles on the Yamanote Line. It’s a simple interactive map that lets you hear each station’s sound, just something I wanted to share with others who might find it interesting too. It also gave me a chance to practice interactive design and build something fun on the web.
RideSoon: UX Design Project for Connecting Motorcyclists
Project Intent:
RideSoon was designed to fill a gap in the motorcycle community by creating a platform that goes beyond rentals. The goal was to develop an app that allows riders of all experience levels to connect, share knowledge, and explore bikes in a more community-oriented way.
Process:
To create RideSoon, I started by interviewing potential users across different riding backgrounds to understand their needs, motivations, and concerns. Based on this research, I developed user personas and mapped out user flows to address each persona’s unique journey. I created wireframes, then moved into prototyping, using Figma to refine the user experience with features like curated bike collections, community connections, and an easy booking process. I designed a bar chart visual to illustrate toxic drug death rates, adding a straightforward, data-driven element to enhance user engagement.
Questions asked to potential users
Prototype:
The final prototype showcases a clean, user-friendly interface where users can browse motorcycles, connect with experienced riders, and safely navigate their motorcycling journey. The design focuses on clarity, accessibility, and a smooth transition from online interactions to real-world experiences.
