Designing Adaptive Usability for Aging Digital Inclusion

I study the barriers and facilitators that shape how older adults move from access to confident use and digital embracement, and how age-friendly interaction design can reduce breakdowns across health and household technologies.

About

I am a designer-researcher working at the intersection of aging-HCI and digital inclusion. My applied work spans hearing-aid self-fitting, smart-home access systems, and cross-category field research with older adults, developed through cross-functional research and design collaborations. I am preparing to pursue an MSc thesis in eHealth, focusing on how adaptive interface design can support older adults' confidence, autonomy, and continued technology use.
