Inspired by personal experiences, this project explores the emotional and practical challenges of family caregiving. Many caregivers feel unprepared, rushed into the role, and mentally exhausted. I asked how we might design an accessible, intergenerational tool that offers education and relief—giving caregivers permission to rest without guilt. I conducted observations, analyzed emotional patterns, and synthesized findings from articles and a 20-response survey to identify key themes.
(1/3) Consolidated and categorized secondary research findings into a visual map. (2/3) Mind map of general observation of Facebook groups. (3/3) Mind map exploring design responses to key issues from observations and surveys, branching into potential solutions to support family caregivers.
Utilizing analog methods on paper for preliminary sketches and annotations.
