Recontextualizing a Collection

Winter 2025
The UX Collection Website challenged designers to display a collection they had already owned, and display that collection through two different user experiences. One needed to be a mobile experience and the other needed to be a desktop site. Designers were issued to explore the collection in two different contexts and show the contextual difference between the two experiences. I have always had a fascination with trinkets and small figurines and have been collecting various them over the past few years. This gave me the idea to focus on my miscellaneous trinket and figurine collection for this project.
