I contributed across all stages of the project, focusing on UI design and translating research insights into accessible, user-centered interfaces.


As the UI designer, I designed interface with special attention to accessibility for older adults, ensuring clear visuals, readable text, and low-friction navigation. I worked closely with both the research and visual design leads throughout.
