Anne's Portfolio

Hi, I'm Anne.

After several years in UX and digital content roles across education and tech, I pursued a master’s in FinTech to better understand the business and data strategy side of user-centered design. This portfolio highlights projects developed before, during, and after that transition—showcasing continuity in curiosity and craft.

My Background / About Me

My background spans user experience, digital publishing, and data visualization across industries like EdTech, cloud services, and academic research. At NYU Tisch’s ITP program, I explored early IoT concepts through physical computing—creating interactive prototypes like RFID-connected shelves and wearable communication bracelets, which were featured in BusinessWeek and a CDFA book publication.

More recently at Rackspace, I collaborated with the Chief Architect on health data dashboards and AI/ML survey tools, which sparked a deeper interest in machine learning. That led me to pursue additional training across AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure, and ultimately an MS in FinTech at NYU Stern. I’m currently focused on UX applications for decentralized technologies—prototyping smart contract use cases in IP protection, real estate, and estate planning. These tools will be supported by an AI engine that helps draft contracts and demand letters based on structured prompts and user-generated data.

Emerging Technologies AI/ML/DL and Cloud Applications

CitiBikes Redux

To use real-time data to gamify redistributing the bikes, in order to reduce the footprint of manual redistribution of the bikes with large vehicles. This was initially a submission in the NYC-Big Apps Competition and re-visited when I was taking a data engineering course for Rackspace.

Ai and Data in EdTech

Several prototypes using Ai in the EdTech space, specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze comments to help students learn more effectively for products like Writing Solutions.

Multilingual ChatBot Tutors

To create chatbots that can help Learners with Spanish and Korean. Roomba (2019) is a chatbot prototype using Twilio API, where students can practice conversational Spanish scripted from a textbook. KTutor uses IBM Watson to quiz a Learner vocabulary and semantics in Korean Dramas.

Ai Assessment Product Proposal

The objective of this project was to create a non-traditional assessment product for Cloud Services to evaluate whether they can issue a certificate to Professionals or Employees in the space. And, to test the hypothesis to see if handwriting notes is more effective in learning, than reading instructional content or watching videos.

Smart Contracts

The SmartContract App enables users to create contracts and lock up Ripple Currency in an escrow account.

EllieSavings

EllieSavings is an app that gamifies savings for Gig- and Hospitality- workers in Southeast Asia, and serves free related digital content.

Traditional UX

Curiosity Lab

A Product Proposal for Pearson's Incubator Competition of a virtual reality game and museum tours linked to content in textbooks using Google Cardboard.

EdTech UX

Various UX Designs and wireframes for products like TDX, Short Courses, MyDietAnalysis, Smart Sparrow.

Data Visualizations & UX Prototypes, Cloud

Various UX Designs and wireframes for products like Data Visualization and User Experience for various clients.

iOT Work

Various projects including prototypes and concepts using RFID, sensors and soft circuits. Mostly from NYU Tisch's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).

Materials Explorations

Various explorations of materials in creation, researching structures, and prototyping illumination. Mostly from NYU Tisch's Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP).

Visual Design

Various explorations of visual design work in print and web media, with special emphasis with typography and grids.

Alloys and Production

Various explorations of creating alloys of gold, specifically crown gold, or one that matched Tiffany's 18kt gold which appears to contain more copper than silver. In creating several pieces in gold and silver, weight was a determining factor in wearability as well as oxidation.
