Improving Food Preparation for People with Dysphagia
FYDP- Hylki
Dysphagia is a condition where the user has a difficulty in swallowing and may require food of a specific consistency in order to swallow it. Hylki is a food capsule device designed to create food for people with Dysphagia. Using specially made food capsules filled with a portion of freeze-dried food, Hylki pumps water through the capsule and creates food of the user’s prefered consistency in minutes. Users are allowed to choose from 4 food consistency settings that are in regulation by the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI).
AirBnb Keysafe
Part of my submission for Live Projects 2022 where students were given briefs from companies in the industry and were tasked to complete a design from start to finish, including research, sketching, storyboarding and rendering. The Airbnb KeySafe is an official item by Airbnb that is distributed to all Airbnb properties and is required to be installed. Due to its obvious colour scheme and form, it increases the recognizability of an Airbnb property which makes it easier for the authorities to tackle illegal properties as well as making it easier to find for customers. Since every property is required to have this device, it allows a quick and standardised check-in process for customers.

UX Design- Amity.
Amity. is an app that provides live electricity consumption monitoring for people to understand the energy usage situation at home in more detail. Combining with smart home technology, Amity. collects data and gains control over all networked electronic appliances at home and automatic controls and adjustments based on the user’s pre-set preferences and energy consumption. The final high fidelity prototype was designed for the iPhone and was designed with the simplistic and effective Apple UI design approach, such as their use of font and colours. A playful yet modern look was implemented to appeal to all ages of users. The modern look is targeted toward the main user such as my main persona May in mind so that it looks easy to navigate and can access crucial information quickly. The playfulness encourages users to open the app with a mindset of playing a mobile game rather than it being a chore or a responsibility and which educates them on sustainability and encourages friendly competition within the family through the ranking system.

Work Experience
My placement at PDD Innovation has given me the chance to experience the fast-paced design consultancy environment. During my 8 months placement at PDD Innovation, I had the opportunity to design products, packaging, and graphics according to real client briefs of various disciplines such as graphics, brand guidelines, consumer products, medical products and packaging. I have also communicated and worked closely with clients to ensure that their requirements were fully met. Projects that interested me the most were projects that require redesigning and rebranding of a client's existing products as well as creating brand guidelines for their future products.
