Parents’ Dashboard
A dashboard I designed for my parents, turning everyday updates into a shared experience across distance.
Websites designed for parents are not intended to enhance efficiency but rather to serve as a means of connection for maintaining daily and continuous communication.

Diary
Since I don't keep in touch with my parents very frequently, I think the format of a diary can clearly present my ordinary daily information to them.
Reflection
This project also allowed me to confront emotional factors so directly in design for the first time.
After the website design was completed, I interviewed my parents about their feelings. They said it was the first time they had experienced up close the results of my design learning. It was also the first time I felt a sense of achievement after solving the problems of the target users.

Design Elements
To make my parents feel "me", I wrote some titles in a way that was more in line with my style of speaking to them. I also added my casual stick figures to make the website more in line with my own daily style.
Message Box
I set up a place for them where they could send messages, so that they could write down some words they wouldn't usually say when chatting, such as care and longing.
Design does not always solve grand problems. It can also be a very personal, small but genuine response.
Cats Phto
Most of my life in New York was spent with my cats, and I enjoyed taking pictures of them. So I set up a section for the cats so that my parents could be involved in their growth process.
