One day amusements
Sneak Peak into "How Might I” enjoy my free time and small challenges
Age of AI
I have been experimenting a lot with AI to discover where it fits in various design methodologies. So far, I am enjoying using it as part of ideation seasons and conversations and as a tool during co-design activities. I am excited to try these tools in the co-creation workshop, the tricky part would be norms, which focus on visual aesthetics rather than aesthetics of interaction, communication, and experience… imagine would u add this flow into cultural research kit or diary’s studies during the design research stage.
Not the worse “thing” cooked at UID.
Sustainable materials
I have passion to explore various sustainable material and explore different recipes. My go to library is materiom.org If you are excited about this topic lets talk :)

From the lecture I presented about Participatory Design and Body Storming. We conducted co creation workshop to explore aesthetics of interaction and communication while being apart. While exploring topics of speculative design, designing with our body and experience and Sara Ahmed phenomenology theories and more 🤟
Devices in this videos is fictional artifacts which can enable parents to communicate with their babies. The main idea from the workshop were each student develop their own fictional products and later on we used this imaginary products as probes to explore what kind user experience these products enable what are reasoning behind them / we uses probs to talk about interaction attributes/ expressions/ properties
What is form and how do you develop expressive capacity of form in relation to interaction ? PLUS ARDUINO MADNESS
In this three-day assignment I defined personal goal for myself to balance craft and practice element of design profession as well as fresh up my academical knowledge while practicing coding skill which I acquired from the first semester. I tried to improve my understanding + definition of form and what is the meaning of aesthetic in IxD; to achieve this I focus on physical, temporal and interaction gestalt. I stated this project relying on my industrial design background. Initially, I drafted certain narrative for myself to explore AoI while developing artifact for story. Some of the keywords I use to pen out my narrative are: Toy+Home context+emotional development+ behavioral disabilities.
My starting point for this expression was platonic love. I desired to explore what it means to express love without lust and passion. I wanted to showcase behavioral pattern to invite someone to cuddle with the artifact by using various indicators.
I was intrigued by the softness and transparency of silicone material and the characteristics properties of fabric material. How these material properties allow the designer to take away coldness of technology.
I have gotten vast inspiration from anthropomorphism and zoomorphism to explore the various aesthetic notion of interaction design.
P.S: I have a slight obsession with feed-forward and inherited feedback Therefore, I played with relationship dynamics between those two-element.
Speculative Probs
Probs from speculative design workshops. Where we reflected on data ethics / NFT / reality vs perception and experience/currency game in global market
Cuneyit Ozdemir is one of the most influential reporters from Turkey arguably he presents the news and developments in an Objective way.
I would love to see probs developed by you as well feel free to comment Please be norm sensitive share data you can actually and easily discover on google or similar platform and don’t share content which can be #discirimative/ #abusive #antiracism #inclusivedesign #inclusive

Designing with body
I learned about this method in one the workshop at Women’s Digital Health Group research center and soma learning about design methodologies more so, performative application of its unique first encounter with new approach. In my opinion, they are quite similar to Sara Ahmet's phenomenology theory. Their work emphasizes on woman health-enhancing it with whole-body approach want attend slow, appreciation and well being in the design progress and final artifact. The result is final outcome of individual progress they don’t involve the user into design progress in comparison to participatory and co-design progress. Soma is a personal experiment that give the designer opportunity to question, how we affected by the norms we face in society. It requires self-awareness and reflection being in the translucence stage. It requires high level of curiosity. I am leaning on this technique whenever I require different lenses in my progress as you can guest I love unorthodox design tools.

Personal intervention of my favorite design tools
I enjoy conducing various iterations around tools I love practicing in my free time interview methods and body storming technique
