Futures thinking with Interaction design
Speculative Design
Using frameworks like the Futures Cone, Backcasting and Alternate realities showed me how to think beyond immediate solutions and imagine systemic shifts in food systems.
Research to Insight
Interviews and secondary research helped me move from broad challenges (climate, water scarcity) to actionable design opportunities like farm monitoring with drone sharing.
Prototyping as Thinking
Building UI flows for the dashboard, field insights and farm overview made abstract ideas tangible, while also revealing gaps in usability and adoption.
