Hello!
Welcome to my portfolio!

I am a recent DAAP graduate from the Digital Design program at the University of Cincinnati. I've done a variety of work but I'm mainly interested in interface design.

I recently finished my Capstone (it's what DAAP calls a senior thesis) with my partner, David Crary. We designed and developed an interactive narrative called, PaperHatBoy: Adventures in Time, which is intended for young adults. Our game follows the main character, PaperHatBoy, and his adventures with his Professor Uncle. The game is designed to teach young adults about a complicated science topic - in our case, time travel - and hopefully inspire them to be more intrigued by that topic. We developed a linear narrative and built lessons within that. The lessons revolve strongly around the topic of time travel and are based on learning-by-doing models. I will include our process and our demo shortly in my portfolio.

What you will see here is a sample of several of my projects while attending DAAP. As you look around you will also see that I have included my process on many projects. One link launches my project, the other takes you to my process page.

If you are interested in what I have worked on during Co-op please feel free to ask me. I haven’t displayed many of my Co-op projects due to confidentiality. If interested, I can briefly explain what my responsibilities were. Many of the projects that I have worked on during Co-ops have been interface design, but there have also been a wide range of other things.

My main interest revolves around designing interfaces for products. I find design research especially interesting concerning this area. I’ve been able to partake in mock user research - in the form of workshops - as well as formal user research. Educational gaming is also a strong interest of mine.

Thanks and enjoy!
Stefanie
