Penn Medicine Progress Presentation & Prototype
The Presentation: A few weeks ago, before Thanksgiving, my studio team presented our progress to some of the executives at UPHS.

Cultural Probes II
We’ve finished our first cultural probe iteration! I’m pretty psyched; they look fantastic. Following up on the earlier post we decided to stick with the separate notebook and camera option. It made more sense to us in terms of usability. The relational connection between the two was really only the ability to add some extra...continue reading
