branding, ux/ui, video editing, & user research
As someone who bikes and skateboards, one of the best parts of any sport is finding a community. As a female, I know how difficult it can be to enter these male dominated spaces and feel like an outsider. I wanted to create a safe space for every rider, regardless of skill level, gender, race, etc.
DIY punk flyers have always been one of my biggest design inspirations. They show that you don’t need a lot of fancy tools to make great graphic content.
Maya is definitely a reflection of who I wanted to be in high school. I was just getting into the sport, but didn’t know where to find people who were interested in skating too!
Bright, bold, simple. A nod to the punk flyer aesthetic with the logistics of clean app design.
