Student Project
Responsibilities: ux design, ui & visual design, user flows, user stories, research, usability testing, wireframes

Salad Days Los Angeles was a UX design product focusing on three major concepts to increase gardening as an activity in the younger generation.

Location-based plant planner with an heirloom, or open-pollinated seed recommendation system similar to fab.com (email based).
Visual gardening community building through an automatic feed that is either location or time based.
A very simple documentation system when the app is landscape for capturing stages of a plant, building out expected timelines for future gardening.

Ultimately, the idea was to create an app that would help serve as a treatment to urban food deserts of Los AngelesThe product was a result of a 10 week summer school course in UX Design at UCLA Extension under professor Marc Mertens of Seso. The class involved giving weekly presentations in different formats to share design process, challenges, decision points, and product pitch. Here are all of the decks of presentations I gave during the class. You can see how the product changed from a field notes meets basecamp type of product, into a much simpler community building mobile product.

Dan Hanasono Identity & Business Cards
Link
Personal Project
Responsibilities: art direction

Wanting to shift my life toward more UX design, I grabbed the preferred omnipotent tool of the UX designer…the sharpie, and I wrote my name exactly how I would write my name if we were meeting for the first time (of if you had forgotten who I am). That is my logo, my identity, and for the time being I am going to embrace it.

Business cards were printed at Moo on their 100% recycled 15.5pt green card stock.

Images from the Summer Skool’s UX & Agile Web Design Class. We built two personas which were used to create marketing material for a small business. I learned a lot in a small amount of time, was taped at the end when I was just zapped of energy, but quite enjoyed the rapid fire that is agile development.
