During this project, I collaborated with SCAD studio teammates to design and develop a smart home system concept integrating IoT devices, biometric tracking, and ambient technology. My role involved conducting user research, applying Design Thinking and Lean UX methodologies, and creating MVP prototypes to validate the effects of light, sound, and habit-forming technologies on users' circadian rhythms and energy levels.

Through my work on Surroundings, I strengthened my ability to lead interdisciplinary teams, guide storytelling and prototyping processes, and craft impactful solutions to complex user challenges. This experience also reinforced my presentation skills, as I delivered speculative concepts to mentors and judges, further highlighting my capacity for managing innovative design projects. Team: Jonathan Hall (Physical Prototyping), Santiago Avella (Film Editor), Natalie Luong (Packaging).
