Enterprise Social Computing

I collaborated with Ph.D. researchers in the HCI Group to design an enterprise social networking platform (Twinkle). I prototyped novel social interfaces for workplace collaboration well before the era of Slack/Teams.

My work focused on cross-cultural design research, using qualitative methodologies to optimize digital experiences for the Chinese market.

 

Key Impact

  • R&D: Prototyped social features pre-dating Slack
  • Publication: Featured in the MSRA 10 Year Anniversary Book (HCI Group Feature)
