Venturewell Kids design charrette 2019

A charrette is an intensive, multi-disciplinary design workshop with major stakeholders collaborating to explore, share a vision, and exchange ideas.

I worked with fellow students, faculty, children, and researchers across the design, health, business, and engineering community to gain greater understanding of today’s challenges in pediatric populations. Experts (adolescents ages 8-14) and the charrette teams explored preventative health solutions to those problems. The day resulted in:

1. Empathy map and user profiles: Frameworks to understand characteristics and needs of target population which help in making effective design decisions

2. Scenarios: Storyboards of ideas for effective self-management of personal care in the pediatric population

3. Ideation: Exploring potential interventions
