THE AVE REBRANDING
This project focused on improving the Valencia College Canvas App, a platform that students rely on for coursework, communication, and academic resources. As a team, our goal was to create a more intuitive, visually appealing, and accessible experience application.
My portfolio includes only my portion of the work, showcasing my contributions to the project’s design and development.
