Bio

I will be graduating in the Spring of 2016 from UWM with a Design & Visual Communications major as well as a Business minor. Being creative has always been my niche. Whether it’s design, videography or photography; there is something about creating that pushes me to progress as if I had no boundaries. I specifically became very interested in UX/UI when I took on my internship with Student Affairs IT Services at UWM the summer of 2015. My relentless curiosity keeps me unsatisfied until I find a solution to anything I am researching which helps me succeed in UX/UI.

Project Description

Reimagining the iPhone for 64-84 year olds
The “silent generation” defined as all 64-84 year olds is projected to rise 78% in the next 20 years, creating a massive need for easy to use and accessible technology. According to Kantar World Panel, roughly 40% of all Americans use the iPhone, a popular choice for its clean and easy to use interface. Using concept testing, user testing and surveys, my project reimagines the iPhone interface, specifically addressing the needs of the “silent generation.”

Research Question
