2023 | 3 months | Group Project | Design 6110: Methods and Tools for Conducting Design Research | Dr. Elizabeth Sanders
This project demonstrates my ability to collaborate on a team to design and facilitate participatory research activities that help people reflect on personal experiences, imagine preferred futures, and translate insights into design recommendations.
Context
An exploratory project examining how Ohio State University graduate students navigate romantic relationships and imagine better future dating experiences.
Approach
Pre-workshop sensitization exercises; co-design workshops (relationship timeline mapping and collective visioning exercises via sandbox); affinity diagramming; insight translation into design recommendations
Outcomes
Participant-generated future dating scenarios; emergent themes about participants' dating challenges and preferences; and design recommendations for improving dating experiences.
Team & Role
Precious Aforkeoghene (MFA in Design); Kah Min Ong (MFA in Design); Alex Osei (MFA in Design); Nina Wolf (Roles in co-design workshop design and facilitation, transcription, data analysis, and insight synthesis)
