Seminar: Mobile UX Research Methods
This intensive seminar teaches Mobile HCI through hands-on user research, competitive analysis, concept design, prototyping, and iterative user testing using tools like Figma and Framer. Students design a mobile experience end-to-end, run qualitative and quantitative studies, analyze data, and justify design decisions with experiments. The course culminates in a full academic report and an industry-focused presentation based on the research, prototype, and evaluation.

The goal of this project was to develop comprehensive brand guidelines for OpenSay, a Slack-based platform designed to facilitate anonymous messaging and whistleblowing within corporate environments. The guidelines aimed to establish a strong brand identity that resonates with values such as security, professionalism, and transparency.
Process:
1. Research and Discovery: Conducted interviews with stakeholders to understand their vision and values. Analyzed competitors to ensure uniqueness in branding.
2. Concept Development: Developed concepts that reflected OpenSay's commitment to providing a psychologically safe workspace. Emphasis was placed on creating a visual identity that communicated openness and approachability while maintaining professional integrity.
3. Design Execution: Created a color palette, typography set, logo, and imagery guidelines. Special attention was given to the logo’s symbolism, incorporating elements that signify anonymity and communication.
4. Guideline Documentation: Compiled the design decisions into a clear and detailed brand book. This included usage guidelines for logo, color palette, typography, and imagery, ensuring consistency across all mediums.
