MASTER PROJECT
Redesigning Refugee Camps in Ethiopia to promote gender equality and facilitate employment - UNHCR
Our group closely collaborated with UNHCR to understand what undermines the employment and reinsertion of women refugees within Ethiopian UNHCR camps. We looked to optimize the training centres already present in the camps and make them more inclusive while optimizing their impact. To do so we looked into cutting-edge digital technologies, human-centred design, the Doughnut economy and local markets/trends.
MASTER PROJECT
Digital Portal for Hyper Island
For this project, our team designed a modular platform that facilitated collaboration inside the Hyper Island network (students, alumni, businesses, experts) while evolving with the users' journeys. We had to rethink and reflect on the educational journey and how to redesign it in a way that supported the life-long experience of learning.
The aim was to help the client in their business transformation through an innovative digital approach.
MASTER PROJECT
Service design project with Zopa
Proposal of a new app design to improve communication, trust, and engagement of customers. Deep research and empathetic process led our team to understand deeper issues concerning loaning as an experience but also its consequences (self-esteem, mental health issues, lack of support). We designed a service allowing people to keep track of their finances while focusing on education and personal support. Giving people a place to take about difficult topics such as money without fear of judgement.
MASTER PROJECT
Digital Technology project with ART Health Solutions
Project based around transforming an existing technological ecosystem into a new digital product. The project required us to understand what productivity meant for the average worker and the influence environment had on it. On a technological level, we conducted research on existing IoTs (Internet of Things) to inspire our solution.
Our team designed a digital product to help night shift workers keep a healthy bio rhythm, ultimately improving their mental health as well as their productivity.
RESEARCH PROJECT
Entering the Metaverse -Â New live music experiences
This research activity allowed me to take a deeper look at the music industry over the years in parallel with technological advancement. It describes the impact of technological advancements such as the gramophone, vinyl, CDs, streaming platforms. It studies the possibilities that VR and multiverse games such as Fortnite can mean for the Music Industry, especially during a global pandemic where public gatherings are forbidden. Our study shows how Metaverses could be the new stage for future live music experiences.
RESEARCH PROJECT
Design Thinking in the Morbid and Mortality Review process
MMRs have crucial importance in making the health care system safer, and more efficient in saving money and time. But it is necessary to create an environment where the people can empathize with
stakeholders, state the essential problem clearly, channel their creativity and test unique solutions. We study how Design Thinking tools could help the process particularly in its ideating phase and with its values. Promoting collaboration of cross-disciplinary teams, creativity through brainstorming, and the implementation of the solution to improve the quality and efficiency of the MMRs and improving the health care system as a whole.
