Case Studies
Improving the Wheelchair Shopping Experience on Amazon
Amazon partnered with Parsons School of Design to explore how to improve the wheelchair shopping experience on Amazon's marketplace
Redesigning In-Flight Entertainment for Sustainable Tourism
Creating an engaging and educational in-flight entertainment system through UX research, storytelling and prototyping to motivate sustainable travel behaviors.
A Quantum Approach to Flood-Risk Modelling
In this project, we created an interactive game to simulate a New Yorker's reliance to flash flooding, with a twist - we used Quantum Circuits made on Qiskit to model flood-risk, rather than classical computational methods.
Reconciling the Visible and Invisble Effects of Flooding in Gowanus
What happens when New York City experiences a record-breaking rainfall spell? Through interviews, data analysis, and policy review, we probed the human and systemic vulnerabilities that contributed to flash flood damage in Gowanus's vibrant artist community.
