Background

Over the final year of the Human Computer Interaction program at Georgia Tech, I worked on a UX research and design thesis around the topic of in-person socilization for persons with Mild Cognitive Impairment. My partner and I went conducted 5 months of research, which included a review of related literature and work, scoping the problem space, facilitating focus group activites and data analysis. We followed that with 4 months of design, which included interviews, co-design sessions, figma prototyping, and heurisitc evaluations.


We successfully completed our master’s thesis requirements by delivering a 40-minute presentation and submitting a comprehensive final project report.
