Assemble is my approach to design—a personal perspective committed to identifying and framing real-life scenarios as living case studies, which I then transform into thoughtful experiments for deeper analysis; I do this freely and separately from commercial pressures.

I share them here to invite open conversations and reflection about how a more ethical design approach can quietly integrate into new technology systems and, hopefully, improve people's lives in the future.

Scenario:
How can design improve the reading experience for students and individuals, supporting comprehension and learning?

69% of students

of eighth grade in the US are “non-proficient” readers.

763 Million

adults worldwide do not have basic literacy skills.

US$1 Trillion

Low literacy costs the global economy more than $1 trillion each year.

Imagining a scenario where the integration hardware and emerging technologies can support the science of reading methods such as:

Mapping sounds to letters (phonics and phonemic awareness).

Reading accurately and fluently.
Comprehending texts
Building vocabulary through word study.

Scenario:
How can visual ethnographic research help policymakers and innovation teams understand the pivotal life transitions of adults and use that understanding to shape more thoughtful, future-oriented solutions?

Global population between the ages of 45 and 60 today.

1.9 Billion

By 2050:

2.1 Billion
1 in 5 people

Global population  of 65+ adults.

90 years old females
85 years old males

Global life expectancy (age).

Imagining a new innovative research practice that produces foundational ethnographic data to serve policymakers, researchers, organizations, and institutions to develop equitable initiatives for aging populations.

By focusing on individuals' experiences and challenges throughout their life stages, Aging Observatory hopes to inspire forward-thinking solutions and foster a more inclusive future for all.

The Approach

Longitudinal research practice + AI-powered platform.
Uses NEEM™ framework (Maslow + NVC).
Ethnography, pattern recognition, and systemic analysis.
