A mobile application designed to globally empower communities to preserve, protect, and share their diverse cultural heritage — respecting cultural protocols, supporting language revitalization, and fostering community collaboration.
This project was conceived as part of a fourth-year capstone initiative, where my team and I undertook a four-week design sprint to develop a compelling concept for Red Thread Innovations, our industry partner. The goal was to identify a meaningful problem space and propose an innovative, human-centered solution.
How We Did It: Leveraged collaborative research methods to uncover key cultural preservation challenges. Engaged in rapid ideation, prototyping, and iteration to refine our concept. Delivered a polished pitch to industry professionals, demonstrating the app’s potential impact.
