I created an AI study coach that transcended generic advice and questioned notions like "learning styles." It employed research-backed methods such as active recall, spaced repetition, practice problems, and the Feynman technique, which improved learning effectiveness and fostered better study

Designed a sensor-enabled therapeutic device for early-to-moderate Alzheimer's patients; validated interaction model through caregiver interviews and observational research. Prototyped a weighted charging enclosure with auto-placement detection, reducing caregiver friction in daily charging workflow

I design for real people in situations existing technology has ignored. For Alzheimer's patients, I designed a therapeutic smart object grounded in caregiver interviews and observational research — not just an interface, but an object people trust enough to use every day. Most recently, I'm building Calibrate for Hack Your Summer, an AI study coach that replaces generic advice and debunks ideas like "learning styles," with methods backed by actual research.

I defined the product scope and MVP boundaries for a 3-4 week build cycle, concentrating on the core experiment loop of technique testing and feedback capture, while minimizing less critical features to adhere to timeline constraints. Additionally, I crafted a behavioral onboarding flow to make the user flow accessible for a 3-week timeline.

The project mapped BeReal's end-to-end user journey, benchmarked competitor features against retention and sentiment, and designed and tested a finite Explore feature with prototype validation. The work was awarded Top Performer by BeReal.
I produced a five-stage end-to-end user journey map (Discover, Prompt, Capture, Connect, Reflect) that documented user thoughts and emotions and highlighted notification timing as a key frustration.
