MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN & RESEARCH PROJECT

During my Master’s study at PolyU, I spearheaded corporate projects focusing on the intersection of data and design. By synthesizing qualitative user feedback and environmental impact data, I identified strategic growth opportunities for Urban Spring. My work focused on incentivizing sustainable hydration habits among the younger demographic through innovative UX/UI solutions for smart water stations and digital engagement strategies, effectively aligning social impact goals with commercial business objectives.


CHALLENGE

  • How to creatively build a BYOB (("Bring Your Own Bottle")) community which in turn create demand for Urban Spring and expand the network in HK, and to find more potential merchants?
