I love researching and implementing what I learn + designing projects on Figma (a program used primarily for prototyping) so here are a few of the design projects I've worked on!

Design Projects

The Stem Cell Game

Through two levels of tutorials and quizzes, you'll both learn about stem cells and test your knowledge.

I created this game in Figma with all ages and experience levels in mind so make sure to try it out!

Parmin’s (Un)packed 2022

Inspired by the Spotify Wrapped which summarizes your favourite songs and podcasts + Ziyaan Virji, I created an interactive summary of how my 2022 went using Figma.

You get to guess which blogs I’ve written, what I’ve been up to, and more.

During another one of my adventures with Figma, I prototyped this app that helps you rent clothing during your travels alongside Caroline Avery Tanto. This was all done in about one night! Ideating the project was done alongside Nandini Kanthi and Fatimah Hussain.

Contact Tracing App Prototype

This was my very first experience with Figma and I had to finish it on a 2-day timeline! As part of the contact tracing app adoption project mentioned above where my team and I suggested strategies to increase adoption rates of a digital contact tracing app in Minnesota to 50%, I created this prototype to show how to improve their current app.
