My Work
Each project here reflects a question I’ve been curious about and a system I’ve tried to understand better. From research sprints in classrooms to co-designing recovery spaces, I use contextual inquiry, systems thinking, and grounded conversations to bridge gaps between intention and lived experience.
From Check-Ups to Curiosity: Turning a Health Camp Into a Learning Experience
In this project, we redesigned a routine school health camp to go beyond screenings by creating age-specific, culturally familiar learning materials that students could take home. Using story-driven worksheets and textbook-aligned language, the camp engaged 250+ children meaningfully across grades 2 to 12. The goal: transform one-time interventions into lasting understanding.
Lost in Translation: Why Language Alone Isn’t Enough
Despite distributing regional-language educational booklets to rural schools, a small social impact team found that learning outcomes remained low. Through contextual inquiry, classroom observations, and interviews, I uncovered missing feedback loops, and gaps in local representation.
Beyond the Break Room: Designing True Recovery for Hospital Staff
How do we design spaces that actually help people recover?
This project explored how hospital staff experience rest and recovery during their workday. Through interviews, observations, and co-design workshops, we helped reimagine break spaces, not just as rooms, but as environments that restore. The result? Flexible, sensory-friendly areas that reflect what real recovery looks like for the people who care for everyone else.
Human-Centred Cafe Website
A cozy café in the Netherlands needed its website to feel as inviting as its physical space. Through interviews, usability testing, and contextual inquiry, I led a research-driven redesign process that simplified navigation, elevated the visual identity, and highlighted the café’s local artisans, turning the website into a digital extension of the café experience.
