idealE (internet of things)

Isaaac Carlos and I worked together on the Internet of Things project to create an app than can manage different devices to control a particular ambient. The space surrounding people can heavily effect a way a person is feeling and in the case of patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, where communication becomes limited or non-existent, the idealE wrist monitor would collect and analyze a patient's vital to adapt the surrounding environment to make them feel more at ease. The app can be used in other settings as well, but the current target audience would be people transitioning into assisted living facilities or retirement homes with the option of having the app remotely controlled by a caregiver or social worker. The app is designed to collect information over time and adapt to the natural habits of the patients that would allow for creating a more calming and stable environment.

Big Picnic 2016

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art puts on a yearly summer event to highlight the outdoor sculpture park and its vast park. My group decided to go with a boyscout/girlscout theme with all elements rendered with vector illustrations so that we could apply this year's branding over different formats in a simple manner and allowing for slight changes. Below you can see the evolution from analog sketches to final vector illustrations, the different iterations of the event map, the production of give-away materials (pins, temporary tattoos and brochures), images from user testing, and the integration of illustrations throughout the project.
