Building interfaces that support the world’s transition to sustainable energy.

Tools: React +TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Redux + Tanstack Query, Figma(Design)

Lepal.AI is a mental wellness app powered by AI to help young adults navigate modern challenges. I helped develop a web version of the already existing mobile product. I came in at the 0-1 stage where I was responsible for creating interfaces for the SPA and choosing the tech stack for it.

Most of my work included working with components where my workflow included

• Assessing/tweaking Figma copy

• React implementation with data state synced with mobile platform

• Tailwind Styling and user interactivity

• Integration with Storybook(a11y testing, docs) and pushing to a local component library. I also built a scalable component system for the web product to ensure consistent UI and accelerate feature development, and enhanced animations for a smoother user experience.

Beyond the technical work, I conducted user interviews and turned those insights into improved user flows, boosting early retention by 15% in the beta phase. These efforts supported a successful App Store launch, surpassing 500 downloads and earning a 4.6 average rating in the first month.

Tools: HTML/SCSS/Vanilla JS(prototype), ReactJS + TypeScript/SCSS(final product)

In this role, I identified inefficiencies in the design handoff process within a developer-heavy team, which led to delays in feature development and miscommunication between designers and developers. To address this, I led the adoption of a new Design Scaffolding method, incorporating developers into the prototyping stages of the design process. This involved creating mid-fidelity, API-friendly HTML prototypes, enabling faster and more effective iterations.

By replacing the traditional design handoff with a more collaborative prototyping phase, I reduced feature development time, facilitating the transition from prototype to production-ready features. Additionally, I improved communication between designers and developers by involving developers early in the design process, ensuring alignment throughout product development.

• Served as the sole designer in an early-stage startup environment, taking the product from concept (0) to MVP launch (1).

• Developed a comprehensive design system from scratch, cutting future design and development iteration time by 40%.

• Conducted preliminary user research with over a dozen small-scale shop owners, identifying 3 unique user archetypes that shaped the product’s core features.

• Oversaw the design of key user flows and interactive prototypes, enabling a successful initial beta launch to 50 early adopters and reducing onboarding time by 40%.
