OVERVIEW
This project aimed to improve emergency response systems for construction workers using the HoloLens 2's eye-tracking feature. A UX/UI system was developed in Unity, enabling workers with limited mobility to send intuitive SOS signals. User testing and evaluation ensured the interface was tailored to workers’ XR literacy levels. The project was showcased at an HCI conference, published in international proceedings, and received positive feedback for its practical potential at a graduation exhibition.

As AI rapidly becomes an integral part of both our daily lives and workplaces, it is transforming the way we work, make decisions, and create. While AI can bring many positive effects, there is growing concern about data security, the weakening of human decision-making skills, and the potential impairment of cognitive abilities due to overdependence on AI. Co-AI Workplace SaaS is a context-aware, AI-integrated enterprise platform that prioritizes data security, transparency, and cognitively supportive user interactions.

Waste Management CBR System
for Smart City Park
- TIME LINE:
1) Designing Smart Trashcan: Sep-Dec 2019
2) Building CBR System: Jan-Mar 2024
- TEAM: Solo Project
- MY ROLE : Research 100% / Product Design 100% / Service Design 100% / CBR 100%
- TOOLS: Python / Rhino / Keyshot / Illustrator
OVERVIEW
For a sustainable city, the future of municipal waste disposal in smart cities must have a cleaner and more efficient infrastructure than ever before. What would a trash can look like in a smart city where IoTs are hidden and networking with each other? I have planned and designed a smart garbage IOT that solves urban garbage in an efficient and eco-friendly way.

Haptic Navigating Service &
New Form-factor for micro-mobility users
- TIME LINE: Sep-Dec 2020
- TEAM: Solo Project
- MY ROLE: UX Design 100% / Product Design 100%
- TOOLS: Rhino / Keyshot / Figma
OVERVIEW
As micro-mobility has become more popular, we've all stopped our scooters/bikes to check directions on our phones from time to time while riding. Even with smartphones attached to mobility, the behavior of looking at the screen while driving can be dangerous. The On-Road Haptic Navigating Formfactor project proposes to design an intuitive interface by minimizing the visual component and leveraging tactile information (haptics).

‘Ping-Pong!’ - A Synesthetic Inspiration Tool
A Tactile-to-Auditory Experience App for Creative Ideation
- TIME LINE: Mar – July 2019
- TEAM: 2 Designers
- MY ROLE: Experiment 100%, Interaction Design 70%, Sound Visualization 30%
- TOOLS: Adobe XD, Illustrator, After Effects
OVERVIEW
People rely heavily on vision, and our creative imagination is largely shaped by visual perception, as the brain predominantly processes visual information. However, this dependence on sight constrains creative thinking and limits our capacity to engage other senses as sources of inspiration. To address this, we developed Ping-Pong: A Synesthesia (Tactile-to-Auditory) Inspiration Tool, which enables people to record and share everyday tactile experiences as sounds, then interpret and narrate them through imagination. By inferring the context of each sound and constructing narrative storylines, users can uncover hidden creative ideas and strengthen their imaginative thinking through auditory association.

Sustainable Corn Farming Package for Small Farms
- TIME LINE: Sep-Dec 2020
- TEAM: 2 Designer
- MY ROLE: UX Research 50% | Package Design 50%
- TOOLS: Adobe Illustrator | Dimension | Photoshop
OVERVIEW
The problem of world hunger has increased significantly due to climate change and food distribution epidemics. In particular, the Congo region is suffering from the most serious famine problem in the world. The Congo region has abundant resources and 70% of the population engages in agriculture, but the resource utilization rate is only 5%. To this end, we propose an agricultural inspiration package for small-scale family farmers living in the Congo region of Africa through a corn crop farming kit with a relatively high yield.
