During the COVID-19 pandemic, I participated in the SF Hacks 2021 virtual hackathon as a UX designer. My team was provided 48 hours to design and develop an application called Beam, which helps students stay connected to their peers and build interpersonal relationships, affected by quarantine.

Our efforts led to Beam winning awards for Best Mobile Hack and Best Use of Google Cloud Platform.

For more information about this project and my role, check out the full case study.
