My Experience
Emerging Technology in Foodservice
In this generative research study, my team and I conducted expert interviews and co-design workshops to define the future of the foodservice industry in light of emerging technologies. The resulting vision statement and map of the future value chain helped inform the client’s strategic priorities.
Generative AI in Creative Writing
In this exploratory research project for my Master’s dissertation, I studied the influence of generative AI on the creative writing process using co-design workshops. Based on my results, I identified common interaction patterns found in AI writing tools and their implications on creativity.
Designing an Art Buying Website
As the final project for my HCI Information Architecture course, I scoped, researched and designed an informational website about art buying. Through interviews, card sorts, tree tests, and usability tests, I created a user-centric site map, user journey and wireframes.
