Caleo (April 2019)
Caleo is a learning management system (LMS) to help graduate students develop active learning while reading academic literature. This design’s key feature is being able to set custom meanings to highlighters during the annotation process. The goal being, to help students build the habit of looking for what is relevant or meaningful to them, thus becoming active readers and carrying that skill forward.
This was an individual project. The research methods used were literature review, survey design & deployment and interviews.
UberDonate (October 2018 – December 2018)
UberDonate is a service design that leverages Uber’s network of apps to transport non-perishable food across charitable organizations. This concept was designed to simplify the process of donation and also to ensure that donations go to organizations that are in immediate need of what is being donated.
This project was done in collaboration with IxDA Indy and my teammates — Naomi Lacy, Christina Lu and Yuhao Shi. The research methods used were interviews, diary study, observation study, affinity mapping, paper prototyping and usability testing.
