How to create folder inside the folder in Drive through Google script?

Question

I have used a existing folder ID to upload files, But I like to create folder by user's name whenever user pressed the submit button. Please have a look at my form. Help me to solve this issue.

JS:

var dropBoxId = "123454567567"; // Drive ID of 'dropbox' folder
var logSheetId = "xoxoxoxooxoxox"; // Drive ID of log spreadsheet

function doGet(e) {
  return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('InputForm.html');
}

function uploadFiles(formObject) {
  try {
    // Create a file in Drive from the one provided in the form
    var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(dropBoxId);
    var person = createFolder(ajith);
    var blob1 = formObject.myFile1;  
    var blob2 = formObject.myFile2;  
    var blob3 = formObject.myFile3;  
    var file1 = person.createFile(blob1);    
    var file2 = person.createFile(blob2);    
    var file3 = person.createFile(blob3);    
    file.setDescription("Uploaded by " + formObject.myName);

    // Open the log and record the new file name, URL and name from form
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(logSheetId);
    var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
    sheet.appendRow([formObject.myName, formObject.myEmail, formObject.myCert, formObject.myExp, formObject.mySkills, formObject.myFees, formObject.myLoc, formObject.myTravel, file1.getName(),file2.getName(),file3.getName(), file1.getUrl(),file2.getUrl(),file3.getUrl(), file.getDateCreated() ]);

    // Return the new file Drive URL so it can be put in the web app output
    return file.getUrl();
  } catch (error) {
    return error.toString();
  }
}

HTML:
<form>
<h2 class="text-center title">Application Form</h2>
<div class="col-sm-6" id="myForm">
  <div><label>Name:</label><input type="text" name="myName" placeholder="Your full name..." required/></div>

  <div><label>Attach your latest Photo 2</label><input name="myFile2" type="file" required/></div>
  <div><label>Attach your latest Photo 3</label><input name="myFile3" type="file" required/></div>
</div>
<input type="button" class="btn btn-success" value="Submit"
      onclick="google.script.run
          .withSuccessHandler(updateUrl)
          .withFailureHandler(onFailure)
          .uploadFiles(this.parentNode)" />
</form>
