Tor Project

I worked as a designer at the Tor Project from 2023 to 2024. I was so stoked I got to work on the Tor Browser for both the desktop and Android during that time.

I remember running into Tor ages ago in 2008 and using it to bypass my university’s strict internet filters. Even though my reasons for using it were frivolous (I just wanted to visit social media and pirate some music haha), it got me thinking a lot about privacy and surveillance back when it was more of a fringe idea online.

Tor Browser visual enhancements (2024)

New connection experience

While we await Connection Assist's arrival, we've overhauled connection screens with a new, "native" implementation, making it consistent with desktop and its censorship circumvention experience.

Improved bridge settings

Redesigned bridge cards, easier bridge sharing, and a new section to find or request more bridges–allowing users to retrieve bridges without needing to connect to Tor first.

Simplified onion site errors

Consistent design with other Network Errors for a smoother browsing experience when you encounter issues in the onionverse.

Tor Browser for desktop library (2023)

I worked on refactoring and completing the library for the Tor Project, and and I also added Figma variables to the library.
