Overview

My thesis project at Northeastern University was an interactive installation that explored the idea of interactive meditation through movement, sound and visuals. As a member of a team of four, my primary role was developing the concept and managing the team towards a refined experience. Additionally, I designed and conducted user testing sessions to help inform our team’s decisions.
