<p data-i18n="about.1">Hi, I’m Jacob. I am a 4th year student at Rochester Institute of Technology pursuing a B.S. degree in Human Centered Computing with a minor in Japanese. I currently live in the Philadelphia area.</p>
<br><br>
<p data-i18n="about.2">I believe I got my drive for UX through the background of my family. My mother went to art school and worked as a graphic designer before pursuing a career in Early Childhood education. Both of my mothers parents were also artists and designers. My father is an architect. With these family members, I grew up with a very creative maternal side, and a very logical but design based paternal side.</p>
<br><br>
<p data-i18n="about.3">From a young age I got involved in the use of computers in technology, and due to my communication disability as a child, I was always on some piece of technology. Whether it be my Gameboy , the Xbox, or the family PC. Needless to say, technology is an important part of my life and from the start, I knew I was going to do something with technology.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-4">
<p data-i18n="about.4">I have also been learning Japanese since late high school when I went a Japanese language camp for the summer. From there I knew I was going to continue my studies at RIT and pursued a minor. I credit my original interest in Japanese to my mom. She studied Japanese when she was in college and lived in Kobe for a year. She loves Japan. In 2019 I spent my Spring semester in Nagoya, Japan through IES abroad at Nanzan University. I spent the first 4 months of the program in homestay and the last month in a dorm. I spent the following summer on an Internship for Tamago-DB in Tokyo.</p>
<br><br>
<p data-i18n="about.5">I really love learning about Japanese language and culture and I have extended my interest to other cultures worldwide.</p>
<br><br>
<p data-i18n="about.6">Outside of School and UX, I enjoy video games, hiking, and spending time with my Dog, Dexter. I recently started trying to practice guitar again and teaching myself how to draw.</p>

<strong ><p data-i18n="portfolio.mtg.problemh">Problem</p></strong>
<br><br>
<p>
Vending machines are something we see everywhere. However, it's not very often that you get to see a vending machine
that differs from the current ones we have. My partner set out to create an interface for a vending machine that
breaks the standard design conventions for one.
</p>
<br><br>
<strong><p data-i18n="portfolio.mtg.solutionh">Solution</p></strong>
<br><br>
<p>
We came up with a vending machine for Magic The Gathering, an immensely popular trading card game. Currently,
most card stores are locally based and include game spaces in the back. These stores often get very crowded,
the purpose of our proposed design is not to replace the store clerks at the front, but to alleviate the the
work of the store clerks. This vending machine would streamline the process of buying and selling cards by
allowing customers to quickly sell and buy cheap common and uncommon cards.
<br><br>
At the moment, frames are only designed with the assumption that the customer already has a card for the vending machine and is selling cards.

<p>
For our final design, we decided to use the official Magic The Gathering colors along with the
Beleren typeface as a display font which is used in the game's logo. We also added various art pieces into the background to
add a bit more to the design. Our biggest changes were to the card category select screen and the filters. We thought that out
initial design of the card category select screen would be too consistent and might confuse users. It also looked strange.
Instead, we used the rounded tiles with the color and logos of each card element used in the game. As fore the filters, we felt
they were to rudimentary and need a bit more. We found that using checkboxes with the Magic The Gathering symbol in the filled
in checkboxes really pulled it together. We also added a some more designs for the interaction.

<hr class="star-primary">
<img src="img/portfolio/RMSC/RMSC_Preview.png" class="img-responsive img-centered" alt="The desktop and mobile versions of the RMSC front page in their respective device frame">
<strong><p>Introduction</p></strong>
<p>UX Studio is a week-long design jam hosted by the iSchool in the Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology. This was the first year the design jam was held. This year there were 3 non-profits to design for: Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC), Water For South Sudan (WFSS), and Catholic Family Center (CFC). From January 25th to January 29th, 2021, I competed in a team of three to tackle RMSC's problem.</p>
<br><br>
<strong><p>The Client</p></strong>
<br><br>
<p>
The Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) is a family friendly museum with 3 main attractions: the Science Museum, the Strasenburgh Planetarium, and the Cumming Nature Center; each with their own branding. The location is primarily visited by young families and grandparents with their grandchildren.
</p>
<br><br>
<strong><p>The Problem</p></strong>
<p>RMSC has a few issues with its website that affects their visitors ability to navigate and find information efficiently. That’s where we came in.</p>
<br><br>
<p>Due to time and scheduling limitations, we focused on the home page and navigation. User Research was conducted but was very limited and yielded no significant results.</p>
<br><br>
<strong><p>

<img src="img/portfolio/RMSC/present-mobile.png" class="img-responsive img-centered" alt="The original site design on mobile">
<strong><p>Issues we were presented with and issues we found</p></strong>
<br><br>
<ul>
<li>Users don’t always know what to do next when they reach the site.</li>
<li>It takes users too long to find the right information.</li>
<li>50% of site visitors are on mobile; needs to be mobile friendly.</li>
<li>We also found that a few areas of the site had color-blind accessibility issues; particularly the navigation.</li>
<li>The notice of hours being changed could not be minimized and took up a considerable amount of space on mobile.</li>
<li>There were 2 navigation menus and the primary one that most visitors would use is not found in the standard location (the top of the webpage), and is instead found under the carousel.</li>
<li>The weekly schedule pdf link does not convey that it is a download link</li>
</ul>
<br><br>
<strong><p>Our Solution</p></strong>
<br><br>
<p>Desktop</p>

<p>Mobile</p>
<img src="img/portfolio/RMSC/mobile clipped.png" class="img-responsive img-centered" alt="mobile wireframe">
<ul>
<li>Replaced the carousel with “quick links” for easier access to users.</li>
<li>Move the navigation up top.</li>
<li>Consolidated organization navigation (about, contact, donate, etc) previously at the top into new dropdown.</li>
<li>Reverse the navigation colors for color-blind accessibility.</li>
<li>Moved events from carousel into new “highlighted events” section below.</li>
<li>Made the hours change notice collapsable with the option to expand again.</li>
<li>Changed the weekly schedule pdf link into a download button</li>
<li>Reversed the colors on the mobile hamburger menu with a light gray background.</li>

<p>
Tasked with the purpose of making a reskin of an app, I decided to reskin the AllTrails app as it's a neat app that I believe could use improvements.

<img src="img/portfolio/AllTrails_lowfi.png" class="img-responsive img-centered" alt="wireframes">
<p>
I felt like the overhaul feel of the app was fitting, but I dislike the treatment of text and difficulty. I also thought that some of the icons being used did not follow the the current style.
<br><br>
In my reskin, I used a font that I felt was more legible for the body text. I also added color coding from the trail tags and made the text black to be more legible. Giving color coding to the trail tags would make it easier for users to spot desired tags.
<br><br>
For the difficulty, I thought using a gradient with the difficulty color would allow users to quickly scroll through trails and see the difficulty easily without filtering while also making the text more legible regardless of the trail image. I also changed the color for 'hard' to a color I felt was more fitting.
<br><br>
For the icons, I thought that the clock was better representation of history than the pin icon that was currently being used. I also tweaked the record icon to be more inline with the styler of the app.
<br><br>
Lastly, I used a very light gray and gradients to separate the top bar and the navigation for the content on the first page. This also gave the content a little more room.

<p>
An infographic on the environmental cost of beef.
<br><br>
I was given the task to design an infographic given the topic of cow, hamburgers, and beef. I decided to focus on the
environmental factors as it was more likely to get across to a larger audience. I chose climate change effects because of how
globally well known the problem is.
<br><br>
I first started out with a couple of sketches and gathering key info I thought helped express the information I was trying to convey.
</p>
<strong><p>Sketches</p></strong>
<img src="img/portfolio/beef-sketches.png" alt="sketches">
<br><br>
<p>My sketches were very rudimentary but I managed to fully flesh out my ideas after I started designing it in Adobe Illustrator.</p>
<br><br>
<p>One of my biggest challenges was trying to show how methane is worse than CO2.
Currently, the best way to show it is Global Warming Potential (GWP). However, what does GWP mean? I attempted at looking up the
definition and it seemed much too complicated to summarize well enough to fit an infographic. Furthermore, the data was most commonly
displayed using a timeline graph which I could not find the data for.
<br><br>
My solution was to use the GWP potential for both gasses themselves and put them in a bar graph.
This way, it's easier to read, and I have the data. However, the graph was still difficult to comprehend since it still used GWPTo mitigate this, I wanted to add a
comparison for beef production to show what it means.
<br><br>
I chose driving because of how universal it is, 2.2 pounds of beef because the amount of servings in it are reasonable, and US cities so so that people could easily understand how much of a distance 155 miles is.
distance for US cities. Also, using cities would make a good comparison for how much distance there is between I specifically chose New York City and Chicago because they are well known cities and traveling between the two would be East to West, or Right to left.
If I did two cities on the same coast, such as the East Coast, people who are not from the East Coast may have a difficult time gauging the distance.
<br><br>
The final design is the one shown at the top.

<h2 data-i18n="portfolio.laundy.title">Laundy Mobile Laundry App</h2>
<hr class="star-primary">
<img src="img/portfolio/Laundy/hi-fi/Splash Screen.png" class="img-responsive img-centered" alt="Laundy Splash Screen">
<strong><p>The Problem</p></strong>
<p>
In a world with rapidly advancing technology, it's a wonder why community laundry rooms
have not gotten the much needed upgrade. People are forced to wait long periods of time,
often hours, waiting for other people to finish doping their laundry or remove their
laundry from the machine. There's nothing more infuriating than having to schedule
half of your day for laundry because you don't know how crowded it will be.
</p>
<strong><p>The Solution</p></strong>
<p>
Laundy is a part of an idea that I'm sure many people have thought of by now.
Create an app that allows members of a community to see the status of the laundry
machines in their laundry room in real time. My proposed ideation of this idea,
would be integrated with the machines directly, giving live feedback without relying
on user input for start and stop. Furthermore, Laundy would allow users to easily
make maintenance reports for both machines and facilities with great convenience,
giving staff more reports than they might have before
</p>
<strong><p>Evaluation of Low-fi prototype</p></strong>
<p>Evaluation of my low-fi prototype game me some valuable feedback early on.</p>
<strong><small>Laundry Tab</small></strong>>
<p>Due to an unfortunate oversight, users did not understand that the placeholder icon I placed next to the machines in the laundry tab were buttons. In this instance, the problem could have easily been avoided by uses a different placeholder such as a square. This was a mistake I am sure to not make in the future.</p>
<br><br>
<p>While the design gave the remaining time in running machines, users suggested that unused machines have a timer that reports how long it was finished or how long the door remained closed after the cycle was complete.</p>
<strong><small>Maintenance tab</small></strong>
<p>Users appeared to not understand what the "Not a Machine" checkbox was for.</p>
<strong><small>Suggestions for future app updates (If developed)</small></strong>
<ul>
<li>Manual alternative for communities with older machines</li>
<li>Mobile pay method as an alternative for coin machines</li>
</ul>

<p>One user got confused between the maintenance and reporting a bug. The user suggested that report a bug should be located in a 4th tab.</p>
<strong><small>Misc</small></strong>
<p>The colleges in the community dropdown were not ordered alphabetically.</p>
<strong><small>Suggestions for future app updates (If developed)</small></strong>
<ul>
<li>Add information for machines that says what cycle it is on.</li>
</ul>
<strong><p>Conclusion</p></strong>
<p>This project was conducted in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis of 2020 which unfortunately severely limited my access to participants due to time, location, and other obligations brought up by the crisis. Therefore, I unfortunately had very limited data and did not have much feedback to go off of aside from my own judgement. Overall though, I am happy with the way my design turned out. In the future, it might be worth coming back to this project to get more user testing and add more features such as the one's suggested.</p>

<hr class="star-primary">
<img src="img/portfolio/Mutter/preview.png" class="img-responsive img-centered" alt="start screen for the game">
<strong><p>Background</p></strong>
<p>For this project, I set out to design an interactive UI for an existing museum exhibit. Living in the Philadelphia area,
I am lucky to have access to a plethora of museums. However, I set my sights on one particular museum; The Mutter Museum
of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia. I wanted to work on an exhibit that was unique, and where else to find unique
museum exhibits in Philadelphia other than the Mutter Museum? However, due to the graphic nature of the museum, my choices were rather limited.
I chose to create an interactive screen for the Hertyll Skull Collection. The Hertyll Skull Collection is a collection of 139 skulls acquired
from a Viennese anatomist Joseph Hyrtll (1810-1894) in 1874. Hyrtll's goal with the collection was to show how varied cranial autonomy was in
Caucasians in Europe and debunk teh claims of phrenologists that cranial feature were an indicator of the level of ones intelligence.
</p>
<strong><p>The Problem</p></strong>
<p>The Hertyll Skull Collection, among the Museums many other exhibits, is located in a large glass display case. Due to the sheer amount of skulls,
and the glass, the exhibit could be hard for those with low-vision or heigh restrictions in viewing the skulls freely. Furthermore, visitors could
easily be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of skulls and either only look at and read about a few or just briefly glance over the collection.
When I visited myself, I only looked at a few skulls before moving on.
</p>
<strong><p>The Solution</p></strong>
<p>
I sought out to design an interactive display that would allow visitors to rad about each and every skull in a much less overwhelming manner while
also giving them the ability to see the skull in angles not possible from the display case. It would also provide more information about the
cranial features of the skull and light up the skull in the display case so as not to take away from the physical exhibit. This would make it easier
for visitors with limited sight and height restrictions to look at and read about the skulls, while also encouraging more exhibit engagement
from all visitors.
