i. Overview
PDQ Study is a consulting website to schedule meetings between a consultant and a student who may be struggling to identify their strengths and weaknesses to help them choose their future path to success. This mobile app will allow parents to set up an appointment with an experienced consultant.
ii. Problem
Throughout the years, I have seen people struggle to find a consultant in this matter due to cost, poor ratings, gender mismatch, etc. Parents will be able to filter and choose their desired consultant based on their concerns.
iii. Design Process
Our client is for the parents who are willing to schedule for the consult but, consultant also need student’s information in order for consultant to know about them individually. In order for the consultant to know about the student, I made two profile options and made bolt icon to identify which page is user is on
I made a list of consultant based on their student’s age, rating, and experience years to map out all the features and categories that the consult app should offer, considering common app organizational patterns and hierarchy. I initiated five categorized navigation bar ( Home Page, List of Consultant, My Like List, Appointment Schedule, and Profile) that include all the various subcategories. However, in an attempt to further simplify the interface, I combined main home page and search bar to not overwhelm the users.
On consultant list, I input the filter (Grade Level, Consultant Gender, Rate, and Price Range) to prioritize what user needs. After looking through the list on consultant, user will be able to see each one of the consultant on their experience, message to ask questions, and like button to save for later.

iV. Solution & Results
My main goal was to make it easier for users to find exactly what they were looking for, despite having to find different consultant all over the country. To achieve this, I have met with each consultant and had conversation on client’s needs. Customers could now effortlessly refine their search by Consultant’s rate, price range, gender, and grade level.

I’m a graduate of University of North Texas with a B.M. in Cello Performance. Right after my graduation I figured that music was not a stable job to find. So I moved on and had an interest on working as bilingual logistic. After working as a logistic coordinator at Samsung for 3years, I had a curiosity on how were websites were made. Through my developer friends, they introduced me with UXUI program and started my certificate program. Even through It was a long journey to figure out what I would like to achieve in a future, I finally found my path and I can’t wait to create experiences that are impactful, intuitive, and perhaps, even a bit delightful.
Outside of design, I am a YouTuber with praise/worship content as a Cellist. I am a huge fan of any workout, such as, Yoga, runner, badminton, swimmer, hiker, weight lifting, cross-fit, etc.
