We have immersed ourselves in understanding the world of the blind in order to explore how we might design interactions that are not dependent on visual capacity. As we converge on a more focused solution space, we plan to involve the core users through participatory design and rapidly iterate our concepts.

Improving Physician Handoffs |

Skills
Design
x User research x Analysis and synthesis x Workshop facilitation x Project management x Concept and ideation sketching x Preparing design deliverables x Digital photography + video x Foam core prototyping

Building off of my research from the summer, I joined with two other students to move this project through the next phase. In supporting physician handoffs, we addressed needs of the user and the existing system and visualized a future scenario. The concepts we proposed are currently under development at MSKCC.

IIT Institute of Design, Planning Workshop, 2010

After creating a framework for platform thinking, we researched the process of retirement. We developed a solution that included learning, teaching and doing. Along with a few others, I presented our work and facilitated a workshop to engage the Home Life Consortium on how to think and plan for platform-level strategies.

Using the rigorous method of structured planning, our class envisioned the home of the future. The process was a top-down and then bottom-up approach. Our solutions considered the future with a global perspective and addressed environmental, community, physiological and emotional factors.

Because we develop our designs from concept to shelf, we perfectly balance creativity and business/manufa cturing objectives. We also work with sustainable initiatives, child resistant packaging, pharmaceutical packaging and private label design. Where other design firms would stop, we keep going to make sure our designs can be impleme nted with the right manufa cturing partner on time and on budge t. Webb DeVlam | Indust rial Designer | 2008 | Chicago IL At this international consultan cy, I designed structural packaging and fast moving consumer goods for major brands that you deal with every day of your life.

June 2008

I started my career in IDEO as an industrial designer. I helped my clients create product strength through differentiation and better user-experience. My focus of work is to embody user-research insights through the creation of product. I worked with human factors to identify relevant insights and other industrial designers on ideation, prototyping, model making and rendering.

With more exposure to various projects, my area of focus changed from aesthetic design to identifying new opportunities through a human-center research approach. This enhanced my qualitative research and analytic skills. In 2009, I transfered to the human factor role. I worked assiduously to uncover insights, identify unmet needs and desires, and pinpoint opportunities for design based on my observations of people and culture at large. Besides working as a human factors designer, I also worked on several branding projects as experience designer. I helped my clients to identify meaningful brand value/DNA, create touch points to convey brand messages and re-structure product portfolios.
