SCAD® Fluxathon Sprint

SCAD® Fluxathon Sprint

SCAD® Fluxathon Sprint

During this week-long design sprint, I collaborated with Flux mentors and teammates to conceptualize and prototype TIERS, a privacy-focused smart home system. Designed for user autonomy, the system eliminates voice and data collection through proximity-based interactions. My role included conducting user research and rapid prototyping to refine features such as multi-tier locks and a minimalist mobile application.
