Glad you landed in my colorful galaxy. I am always excited to appreciate your roasts and toasts here.
I curiously collect feedback to find interesting opportunities in products that we adore interacting with every day. Here are some of my Aha moments and feedback from real-world users on my ideas.
iBuddy
In an academic seminar, "Maria Wolters", a reader in design informatics shared about impact of “Missing Data” in medical wearables.
My brain, scaling down to 1000th level, thought what happens to the data which is missed when my smartwatch is charging?
What if we forget to wear it back. User will always forget, but how might technologies help in mitigating the adverse effects and improve the user experience?
I envisioned a notification in the paired device to remind about the charge status of the wearable.

Whatscribe & Audio Labels
Walking down the street & watching fall colors, my brain sparked two new features for WhatsApp.
Audio Labels: Helps you to pick the audio clips that you want to listen, instead of listening to all audio files.
Whatscribe (WhatsApp + Transcriber): Converts audio messages into text. Can be used when the user is in a noisy environment or when a private space is needed to listen to the audio.

Instagram Stories
We all would have had moments, when we were curious on social media. Checking stories 240 times in 24 hours. If the person you posted for saw your story or not?!
Downside is that it can be addictive. Considering the ethical side of design -- to reduce the unintended harm, I asked my friends circle & 80% of them highly recommend the idea I proposed -- revealing ‘Stories Seen By’ after 24 hours.

Poison Oak Detector
Leaves of three, let it be
Being a hike lover, there is no limit in the number of times we talk about ‘Poison Oaks’.
Hiking with my colleagues, I threw this strategy of integrating 'plant AI detector' within 'All Trails' app - the most popular app used among hikers.
