Dr.Snap began with a concern: busy urban residents and people living far from care were using general AI chatbots as a substitute for medical diagnosis, despite their limited reliability. Rather than offering an immediate verdict, we designed and built a multi-turn, questionnaire-driven UX workflow for more reliable diagnostic support.
Neuro explores how brain–computer interfaces could make virtual experiences more expressive, personal, and socially connected. We imagined an everyday BCI–VR wearable that translates neural signals into feedback, creative expression, and user-controlled interactions—supporting memory, imagination, and communication beyond conventional screens and inputs.
Silverlining reimagines pendant lighting as an adaptive part of everyday routines rather than a static fixture. A context-aware system combines time-based cues with task information captured through an embedded camera, adjusting the light’s position and atmosphere throughout the day. It lowers for brighter, focused illumination during daytime work, then rises into the shade for softer ambient light during rest in the evening.
Bianca explores how subtle sensory cues can enrich familiar routines at home. We prototyped an interactive refrigerator door with pressure sensors and embedded LED lighting, using touch to trigger changing light patterns. By making those responses adjustable, the project imagines a future where AI can shape ambient feedback around a person’s context.
BRIDGE explores how home appliances could ease the everyday gaps between single-person pet owners and the pets waiting at home. We identified moments where care, cleanliness, and companionship become difficult to sustain alone, then developed a connected appliance ecosystem spanning a robot cleaner, pet minibar, and entryway steam closet. I led the steam closet concept, which supports quicker departures, prepares clean clothes and pet-walking essentials, and helps remove dust after walks.
What draws me in.
I am drawn to the small moments when everyday systems fail to meet people where they are. Through observation, interviews, and surveys, I like uncovering the subtle frustrations that often go unnoticed: a task that feels unnecessarily complicated, information that arrives too late, or a system that asks too much of people in an already demanding moment. From there, I translate those insights into experiences that make things feel clearer, lighter, and more natural. Whether through a product, interface, or service, I am interested in designing systems that respond to real needs rather than abstract assumptions.
I am also interested in design as more than a way to solve problems. It can shape how people notice, feel, remember, and connect with the world around them. This means designing not only individual interactions, but also the relationship between them: how sequential moments build into a narrative, how simultaneous sensory cues reinforce one another, and how an experience can create resonance or evoke a meaningful memory. I am interested in using form, material, interaction, and atmosphere to expand and connect our senses, making ordinary moments feel more immersive and meaningful.
