Facing Racism in Design - Google, Facebook and Amazon
I worked as the Research and Design Leader for this project. SCAD partnered with Google, Facebook and Amazon to research and develop a method for equitable and inclusive UX Design to be tested, adopted, and evolved through academia and industry for the service and benefit of all.
How can the design process be equitable?
The design of tomorrow is a collaborative concert. Concerts and music festivals aren’t competitive but collaborative efforts between the band and its audience. They value the quality of the performance, over the time it takes, instead of using harsh finish lines they acknowledge a natural gradual ending. They allow for the discovery of new ideas and lyrics, if one is willing to listen, and we rarely attend a concert alone.
This project has been a collaborative concert. We’ve melded together so many different genres or majors and upbringings, each unique in its own way and bringing strong perspectives to the table. We’ve done the exercises and we’ve built a trust with one another, that allows us to bring our whole selves to work every single day.

Artificial Intelligence on HR - Deloitte
I led the research teams in a SCADpro project for Deloitte. The goal was to research and develop new concepts for utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enhance the overall human capital experience. Our team considered how core HR functions like recruitment, processing, wait times, HR roles, and career paths can be affected by AI solutions. Co-leader : Prof. Wan Chiu
Driving connection to build a high performing organization
MP3 is an AI platform that drives connection within an organization, and serves as a community to engage employees to learn, grow and share knowledge within the organization. With the power of AI, MP3 offers a quick, real-time and data-driven approach for HR to manage and retain the organization’s workforce in a modern way.
Learning from Peers, Sharing with Peers.
MP3 provides recommendations for employees to connect with other co-workers based on their skills, knowledge, position, year and experience. They can schedule a time to talk and decide the meeting method on the platform. After their meeting, they can choose the kind of relationship they want, or establish a mentoring relationship to keep the peer-to-peer learning experience moving forward.
