University Super-App Prototype: UniPal

UX Researcher & Designeracademic
User Research: Interviewed users and ran surveys to uncover real pain points, turning the feedback into clear target profiles and problem statements. Prototyping: Brainstormed solutions and quickly moved from rough sketches (lo-fi) to interactive, realistic digital prototypes (hi-fi). Testing & Refinement: Tested the interactive designs with actual users, using their direct feedback to smooth out the navigation and fix usability issues before development.

Technology-Centric Intervention for ADHD: XR for EMI and ADHD Remedial

Designer/Researcherpersonal
A research-backed XR proof-of-concept designed to provide 'point of performance' support for ADHD individuals, bridging the gap in Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI) literature. The system utilizes eye-tracking to detect distraction patterns and trigger predictive UI prompts, alongside electrochromic dimming of peripheral vision to minimize visual clutter. The design language follows a professional, minimal glassmorphic aesthetic inspired by Apple Vision Pro to ensure seamless environmental blending.
