I come from a language-learning background, aiming to apply my perspective of communication and culture to my work in creating human centred experiences.
I have a passion for storytelling and aim to marry together critical thinking and enticing imagery in my work to create memorable experiences. Recently I have been enamoured by storytelling in interactive media, such as narrative-driven games, and plan to focus on this in future writing and design.
All in all, I have a good sense of product and aim to directly and positively influence people’s lives through design.
Retrio
In a world where language learning opportunities are limited to unpredictable stressful encounters and channels that fail to equip learners with real-world vocabulary, acquiring a language is rarely a linear process. With the use of formal language lessons and abstracted situations, current language learning practices were proven to lack context, enabling an endless loop of lost motivation. As a response, Retrio is an attempt for a more contextualised experience. This work in progress presents a digital scenario-based retrieval system for informal language learning. It is a personal library allowing people to keep track of their daily encounters and turn them into a language learning experience. This application gives the freedom for users to capture information in various mediums (text, audio, visuals...), to consequently organise them through personalized "scenarios".
