brief description

This project explores the incredible potential of technology to bring people together and facilitate the sharing of resources within a local neighborhood. In Sege Park, a thriving community known for its commitment to sustainable urban development, I embarked on a participatory design journey. The goal was to develop a digital tool that supports social sharing while emphasizing the value of face-to-face encounters and collaborative negotiations. Through engaging with the residents and leveraging their invaluable insights, I crafted a digital sharing platform that truly reflects their needs and aspirations. This platform serves as a virtual hub where community members can connect, exchange resources, and build lasting relationships. From conducting user research and hosting dynamic ideation workshops to prototyping and iterative testing, every step was driven by the collective vision of the Sege Park community. The digital sharing platform empowers residents to embark on new sharing experiences. It encourages them to envision and embrace novel possibilities for sharing in their everyday lives, ultimately strengthening the fabric of the community.
