Enchanted Forest

Overview

Enchanted Forest explores how playful interaction and narrative can support self-regulation in noisy or overstimulating environments. The work sits at the intersection of HCI research and practical design, focusing on emotional safety, clarity, and engagement. I contributed to turning co-design insights into a cohesive product direction and research-ready artifacts that could be evaluated in real settings.

Highlights

• Translated co-design insights into interaction goals and child-friendly UX decisions.
• Focused on emotional safety and usability, making the experience supportive rather than clinical.
• Iterated on flows and content to keep the experience engaging while still grounded in evidence-based strategies.
• Connected design decisions back to evaluation goals for meaningful study outcomes.
