my role

As the UX/UI Design Intern, I lead the design of GGchat’s website, user flows and branding. I collaborate regularly with the co-founders to iterate on the site layout and flows. My regular tasks include:

  • designing user flows for essential processes, such as: signing up, inviting friends, logging in, starting a game

  • designing page layouts and UI elements, such as buttons

  • creating a website prototype for smooth designer-to-developer handoff

  • writing microcopy for various buttons and interactions

Unfortunately, due to NDA, I’m unable to share photos of my work. However, the beta version of the site is currently in the works and will be live late-March – check back soon for updates! :)
