Projects Worked On

Web Development

Webpage layout for Pineapple Island real estate, featuring images of modern homes, community neighborhoods, and interior living spaces, with sections about the community, land offers, and amenities such as eco-friendliness, smart homes, security, and electricity.

In the web development course I was taking with IFA, we were tasked to recreate a web page for our capstone project. This is the final product of that project. The purpose of it was to see where we were in terms of our coding skills and I am proud to demonstrate the skills I’ve learned over the course here. The full page has been posted on GitHub and was developed using HTML and CSS.

UX/UI Design

A series of eight mobile app screens for a ride-sharing service named 'NON'. The screens include home, sign-in, create account, account overview, ride options, user profile, payment, and payment confirmation. The interface features a dark blue and black color scheme with icons and options for booking rides, viewing account details, and managing payments.

In the UX/UI Design course I've taken with IFA, I was lucky to be able to work with likeminded individuals tackling the problem of lack of transportation within rural communities. This picture is the final product of the mock-up app that showcases the high fidelity version of the app we worked together on to complete and present to our class. As a team, we've gathered data, developed user personas based off of that data, created wireframes and low fidelity versions of the app we wanted to create, before finalizing it in Canva and Figma. This process has been highly rewarding in the end and I'm happy to share our hard work with the public.

Digital Art

A snowy, forested landscape with small houses, a group of reindeer, and trees, under a cloudy sky.

The artwork presented in this image is the landscape assignment we were given in Digital Art. It's the finalized version of my hometown where I have fond memories of growing up there. While I was originally born in La Ronge and spent most of my childhood and all the way into adulthood there, I've spent a good portion of my life living by Reindeer Lake in my reserve called Southend. Depicted are the reindeers travelling and migrating across the ice during the winter season amongst the trees and homes located on the hills by the lake.
