About Me

Hello! My name is Samantha Scalzini and I’m a second year undergraduate student at the University of Georgia studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science, and pursuing the New Media Certificate. I am interested in exploring the intersection of technology and humanity in design, research, and advocacy.

Projects

Figma

Classic City App

Created a high fidelity prototype app on Figma with a team of 4 designed to introduce current student and prospective students to Athens restaurants, landmarks and the signature bulldog statues located around town.

Bulldog Planner – An Optimal Schedule Builder

Led a 5 member UI/UX team to design intuitive Figma web page designs for a full stack Optimal Schedule Builder project. Collaborated with front-end, back-end and algorithm leads to ensure designs were technically feasible.

Swift UI

My Media App

Created a Swift UI App that generates music, movie and book recommendations for the user.

Recipes Around The World

Designed a Swift UI app that used a recipe API to search and organize recipes from different cuisines. The categorical results are then organized in a list, and when the user selects a recipe they get the ingredients with measurements, image and instructions.

Research and Advocacy

Java

Java FX Shopping List App

Created a JavaFX app that connected two API’s to curate a shopping list with ingredients and prices based on the recipe queried by the user.
