In this 10 week project, I worked with classmates, Abigail Dahl and Ethan Rogers to explore living with non-human living beings. We decided to focus on the microbes we live with every day by looking at college students' relationships with sickness. This revealed a tension between productivity and sickness with great design opportunity. Through continuous ideation, Germi came to fruition; a mobile app that visualizes sickness as a germ that users can care for as they care for themselves.
