Redesigning Connection:
A Human-Centered Approach to the VA Volunteer Experience
VA Red Coat Ambassador Program Redesign
Enhancing Volunteer Experience and Patient Support through Human-Centered Design
The VA Red Coat Ambassador (RCA) program connects volunteers with veterans to provide guidance and support within hospital environments. Through research and observation, key challenges were identified — an aging volunteer base, inconsistent training, and patient anxiety during navigation.
The redesign introduced digital training tools, youth recruitment initiatives, and lightweight assistive wheelchairs to reduce volunteer strain. A QR-code system was also added, allowing patients to easily request help and connect with RCAs.
This human-centered redesign improved volunteer engagement, reduced physical effort, and enhanced the overall experience for veterans through empathy-driven design.
Part of a collaborative design team exploring the VA Red Coat / Embossed Hospital system. Contributions focused on field research and user interviews, translating real-world insights into early design ideas that guided the project direction.
Augmented Reality, Smart Assistance, UX for Everyday Living
AR Glass — Smart Cooking Assistant
Blending Augmented Reality with Everyday Cooking
This project explores how augmented reality can simplify meal preparation and reduce food waste through real-time guidance and personalized interaction. Designed as part of the Hook the Cook concept, AR Glass assists home cooks by projecting step-by-step instructions, ingredient measurements, and visual cues directly into their field of view — keeping their hands free while cooking.
Focused on families in busy urban settings, the concept aims to save time, reduce grocery costs, and promote confident home cooking. The design emphasizes intuitive interaction, safety, and adaptability, bridging digital convenience with the warmth of homemade meals.
Part of a user-centered design study integrating AR technology into daily routines to enhance cooking efficiency and enjoyment.
