Summary

Final work

I am a designer driven by curiosity and empathy, working at the intersection of technology, art, and human experience. My approach blends poetic sensitivity with system-level thinking, often exploring alternative interfaces and minimal interaction models that challenge conventional norms. My work is grounded in critical reflection, yet always oriented toward clarity, meaningful connection, and future-forward innovation.

In a fast-paced world where people are constantly surrounded by an overload of messages, PaperComm offers a slower, more mindful way to communicate. Designed to be both ceremonial and smart , it provides a seamless yet considered alternative to instant messaging. The project responds to the widespread issues of attention fatigue and information excess, while exploring more human-centred and borderless forms of communication.

Final work

The summariser

One of the key features is the summariser, which allows you to condense your messages into various formats. You can choose the one that best fits your purpose—whether it’s for reflection, record-keeping, or sharing.

The responder

By exploring non-verbal forms of communication, The Responder features two rows of six reply buttons, designed around human attitudes and the core elements of information. The top row relates to attitude — positive , negative , and contextual . The bottom row focuses on information — event , people , and emotion . Depending on the situation, users can organise their responses using individual buttons or combinations thereof. A specially trained AI then assists by generating a selection of reply options for the user to choose from.
