For my SVA thesis, I designed and built a haptic necklace "Liberty" featuring binaural soundwaves, vibration, and texture to help manage panic attacks and anxiety.

As a UX Designer at TVNZ in New Zealand, I worked on an agile team to build and improve many features for TVNZ+, TVNZ Sport and 1News.

 

My designs led to higher user engagement, as well as enhanced visual design, streamlined navigational flow, and revamped brand strategy. I am passionate about designing thoughtful experiences that engage with researched user behaviors, express dynamic aesthetics, and form optimal digital interactions.

Other project highlights at SVA IxD were connecting a hoberman sphere “Bloom” to motor sensors that optimized breathing patterns, an interactive waiting room table “Mesa” or tactile interface for hospital patients, and an experiential gallery membership “Umbrella-X” that operates on exchanging art.
