Amayz - Mobile app for the New Jersey Autism Community
Overview
Amayz is a mobile app built for the New Jersey Autism Community, designed to bring the support families and autistic individuals need — local activities, clinics, emergency helplines, laws and government aid, awareness content, schools, and continuing education — into a single, calm, easy-to-navigate place. Instead of organizing the app around agencies and departments, Amayz is structured around the real questions a family or autistic adult asks: what's near us, who can help, what are we entitled to, and what do we need to know.
The app serves a wide range of users under one roof — from a parent navigating an early diagnosis, to an autistic teen or adult managing their own care, to a case worker coordinating support — which meant designing for very different needs, ages, and abilities without splitting into separate products.

My UX Contribution
- Owned the end-to-end UX process from scratch — conceptual wireframes, information architecture, and user flows through to final visual design and interactive prototypes.
- Designed the navigation and content structure around 8 core pillars (activities, clinics, helpline, laws, government aid, awareness content, schools, and continuing education), making every feature reachable within a tap or two.
- Applied accessibility- and sensory-conscious design principles throughout — low-contrast calming visuals, plain-language content, and predictable, repeatable UI patterns tailored for a neurodiverse audience.
