Project Background

In the first five months of 2020, I co-designed and led UX research exploring how individuals with brain sensitivity — specifically those with traumatic brain injuries and chronic migraines — navigate overstimulating environments. Our four-person team conducted foundational research across both groups before narrowing our focus to chronic migraine sufferers. We synthesized key insights, developed functional prototypes, and conducted user testing with wireframes and Wizard-of-Oz prototypes to validate our data collection and visualization strategies.

Following this phase, I continued working with one teammate for an additional five months to apply our findings in redesigning and rebranding a clinically-developed app by Stanford Headache Specialist Robert P. Cowan, MD, FAAN, FAHS. We collaborated with doctors, AI specialists, and engineers to prepare the app for launch on iOS and Android.
