My Role
My Role
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.

The Problem
In the US, diabetic seniors encounter everyday obstacles because public spaces often don’t accommodate their care needs.
This lack of support means that discreet injection areas and diabetes-friendly dining options are hard to find, increasing stress and feelings of stigma.

Takeaways
Designing for Real-World Impact
This project deepened my understanding of accessibility as more than just guidelines — it’s about designing with empathy and clarity for real people.
Collaborating with industrial designers also pushed me to think beyond interfaces and consider how physical environments can work together with digital tools to create truly inclusive experiences.
