My contributions include:Designing for the Journey of Death (Parts 1-3): A deep dive into the design considerations surrounding the end-of-life journey.Designing for Long Distance Husbands, Fathers, and Sons (Migrant Worker Platform): Addressed the distinct challenges of migrant worker families, seeking design interventions to alleviate some of these challenges.Palliative Care - Compassionate Creations: Explored the potential of design in augmenting palliative care, focusing on providing comfort, dignity, and meaningful engagement.Thesis Tutoring (Ongoing for this academic year):I am currently mentoring a dedicated group of 5 students throughout their rigorous year-long thesis projects. My role involves:Guidance & Feedback: Offering regular feedback and direction to ensure their projects remain on course and achieve their potential.Pushing Boundaries: Encouraging students to venture into uncharted design territories, challenge conventions, and expand the horizons of design thinking.
