With Dr. Emma Mercier’s lab at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the department of Education, I worked on the programming development of the Food for Thought app. This project allows children to visualize the environmental impacts of the food that they choose to consume. We used this application to study group behavior in adolescent children when making these food choices, and iterated through design by observing interactions and getting feedback from participants.
I employed UX research tools (observation, interview, etc.) to iterate through design of the UI and functionality of this application. I used javascript, html, css, and electron for the programming aspects of this project.
