Industrial Deisgn + UX Research

Research Projects

My research explores how well-being and environmental sustainability can mutually reinforce each other through everyday technology (e.g., home appliances, digital devices). By integrating cognitive and psychological theories into design strategies, I create meaningful and long-term engaging experiences that support both human flourishing and ecological responsibility.

I employ a Research-through-Design approach using interactive prototypes and ethnographic studies to translate theoretical insights into tangible design concepts. This method allows me to address real-world challenges while contributing to both academic discourse and design practice.
