Recent projects
Digital Companion App UI/UX Design
To design a user-friendly, accessible digital version of our companion doll app that can be used on tablets or smartphones when the physical device malfunctions or is unavailable. This ensures continuity of care and emotional support for older adults and provides peace of mind for caregivers and family members. What is the problem your company is trying to solve by having this work done? Hardware failures can interrupt emotional engagement and psychosocial monitoring provided by our physical Sundae Doll. A digital app will act as a fail-safe companion interface , ensuring that users can still receive therapeutic content and connection during hardware downtime. The backup solution must preserve the emotional intelligence and warmth of the original device while being intuitive and easy for both seniors and caregivers to use.

Social Media Marketing Campaign
Our company is advertising our flagship product the Sunnydoll, an AI companion doll for older adults. We hope to revamp our social media marketing to attract more customers as we near our prelaunch in Q1 2025. We are also looking for a way to market to children with mental health and speech difficulties and are unsure if we should do it on one website or have two web pages since the marketing language will be quite different but core product remains very similar. We would like to work with students to design a new social media marketing campaign for our company. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our company’s products, social media campaign goals and target market. Identifying social media channels and strategies suitable for our company. Planning types of campaign content to create for each channel. Identifying metrics to monitor throughout the campaign. Creating a social media content calendar that outlines important steps in the campaign. Bonus steps in the process would also include: Recommending social media management tools to schedule our content.
