The müz is a mood-driven music player designed for young moderns to use in their entire house or apartment. The design is based on an affect grid, with songs mapped by mood on the x axis, and energy level on the y axis. The tangible interface invites interaction, allowing the user to request a mix of music that represents a particular emotional state by just touching the appropriate area of the grid.

Working in a team of four, we designed a wine recommendation site targeted at the college grad new to drinking wine, with little or no knowlege of the subject. We tried to tap into the sophistication and "adultness" this target group may associate with drinking wine, while eliminating the intimidation factor.

In a team of two, we designed a cell phone application that enabled users to quickly find coffee shops and cafés in their area. We developed a few different personas, before settling on Sandy, a visiting nurse. This application would be especially useful for sales-oriented or traveling professionals to narrow down their available options while working in unfamiliar territories or areas.
