ContextThis project explores how collaboration tools could better support neurodivergent communication styles and visual thinking.
ProblemMost collaboration products assume fast typing, conventional communication patterns, and rigid interfaces that can be exhausting or exclusionary.
SolutionBuilt an Expo and React Native app with auth, sharing, and a flexible visual collaboration surface designed around calmer, more supportive interaction patterns.
RoleLed product concepting, interaction design, implementation, and product framing.
Technical challenges- Combining mobile UX polish with complex canvas and sharing interactions
- Designing flows that feel supportive rather than overbearing
- Building a product story that is both technically credible and user-centered
Trade-offs- Prioritized product clarity and core flows over breadth
- Kept the current public framing concise while preparing deeper case-study material for week 2
Outcomes- Expanded the portfolio beyond commerce work
- Demonstrated mobile product thinking and interaction design
- Added a strong user-centered counterpart to the Print Room systems work
