FindIt — Campus Lost & Found App
UI/UX Design
Designed the core flow for FindIt, a mobile app that replaces informal campus lost-and-found systems (WhatsApp groups, security desk logbooks) with a structured reporting and matching flow.
The main design challenge: building trust in an automated match without it feeling like a black box, while preventing false ownership claims.
Key decisions:
Photo-first reporting, since visual matching outperforms text descriptions for lost items
Match confidence broken into transparent criteria (category, location, time) rather than a single opaque score
Ownership details gated until verification, with campus security tied in as the verifying authority
Minimal, quick-entry forms suited to reporting between classes
Scope: home/discovery, report item flow, match verification, security integration.
FocusFlow is a mobile application built in Framer, designed to help users build momentum, eliminate digital noise, and protect their focus. The objective was to design an intuitive, frictionless ecosystem that merges habit tracking, daily task management, and deep-work timers into one cohesive platform.
Visual Strategy & Branding
To ensure the interface felt modern and reduced eye strain during long working sessions, I developed a "Dark Slate" visual theme.
Color Palette: Deep, muted backgrounds paired with high-contrast neon pastel accents (purples, cyans, and greens) to guide the user’s eye toward primary actions without overwhelming the screen.
Typography: Clean, highly legible typography establishes a strict information hierarchy, ensuring data-heavy screens remain scannable.
Component Design: Soft, rounded corners across all cards and progress rings create a welcoming, tactile aesthetic.
Core Workflows Designed
The Dashboard: A high-level view of daily momentum, gamifying progress with a clear percentage tracker and immediate access to priority tasks.
Habit Engine: A visual consistency tracker that leverages bar charts and streak counts to encourage daily retention and user engagement.
Focus Timer: A distraction-free, Pomodoro-style interface dedicated entirely to single-task execution.
Profile & Settings: A personalized hub showcasing user streaks, focus time, and gamified "Level" badges to drive long-term motivation.
Platform & Execution
Built in: Framer
Disciplines: UI/UX Design, Visual Branding, Mobile App Prototyping, Interaction Design.

What’s your practical “done” test before you keep polishing? How do you separate meaningful polish from anxious extra work?
I have a hard time stopping on articles, research reports and a huge issue with not having a clear main goal in mind to begin with. If I break it down to it's most simple form, the goal would be "find the thing". Define thing. Define find. How much of it do I find? Have I found all of it? I should figure that out first.
I try to think of it like butter. I know, I know.
You start with cream, and the work is necessary. At first, every bit of effort changes the thing substantially. Then suddenly you've got butter—the goal has been achieved. You can keep churning. You can churn very diligently. You can churn with tremendous commitment and impeccable technique.
...But effort and improvement have stopped being the same thing.
At some point, you're not making the butter anymore. You're just churning the butter.
