"This case study proposes an AI-driven UX solution that uses enhanced camera features to guide users through a multi-lighting selfie process, ensuring precise capture of undertones for perfect product recommendations.

"By integrating this step-by-step analysis and streamlining the UI, the solution minimises costly trial-and-error, creating a highly efficient shopping experience and fostering consumer trust."

Real-Time Form Correction for Safe and Effective Home Workouts by Chassidy Lyn

"Current fitness apps fail to offer real-time, personalised feedback on exercise form, leaving users vulnerable to improper technique, ineffective workouts and potential injury.

"This case study addresses the critical gap by developing an AI-powered mobile app that utilises real-time video analysis to provide immediate, actionable feedback.

"The UX design solution educates users to efficiently correct mistakes, thereby promoting safer, more effective workouts while maintaining the convenience and accessibility of digital fitness platforms."

A UX Redesign for Vivint with Single-Page Smart Control by Eunice Cortez

"This design solution addresses the inefficiency of existing multi-tab smart home apps by consolidating all primary functions into a single navigation page.

"This unified interface streamlines the Vivint experience, allowing users to intuitively access main controls with fewer clicks.

"The core innovation is a visually structured layout where users can preview room status and, upon expansion, instantly access all controls – including live camera feeds, temperature and lighting – under one central view, dramatically enhancing efficiency and usability."
