Memori.
Memori is a bilingual reminiscence app concept that helps families stay connected as a loved one’s memory changes. Family members contribute familiar photos, voice recordings, and personal stories, while older adults explore them through gentle activities and a personal diary—with the freedom to respond in their own way, pause, or stop.
My contribution
- Synthesized early-pitch research into product principles and design priorities.
- Defined a two-role information architecture for older adults and family.
- Designed onboarding, connection codes, elder consent, and recovery states.
- Mapped contribution memory activities family responses as one loop.
- Designed voice, writing, and photo diary flows with pause and exit choices.
- Created a 102-screen English–Chinese high-fidelity clickable prototype.
- Developed visual hierarchy, bilingual layouts, and accessibility rationale.
Vision
Turn a familiar photograph or voice into a low-pressure moment of connection—not a recall test.
Onboarding begins with people
Introduce the emotional purpose before account setup or a feature list.
Contribute
One family memory.
Shape
A familiar starting point.
Engage
Choice, not correctness.
Return
A moment shared back.
Early research · exploratory, not product validation
The early pitch combines an exploratory caregiver survey (18 responses), one care-setting observation, and one professional interview. The survey reports 4.33/5 for wanting more meaningful ways to support daily engagement. These limited signals informed personal content, simple interaction, and family involvement—not proof that Memori works. Recruitment and question details are not documented here.
Read the early pitchShared roles
Family contributes context. The older adult chooses how to revisit, respond, or create.
Different entry points, shared ownership
Role selection prioritizes the next action without removing the older adult’s own voice.
A contribution becomes a memory
Photos, optional context, and voice belong together; the archive makes them easy to revisit.
Family connection
Make the relationship visible before stories are shared.
A deliberate handoff
A code introduces the request; it does not replace the older adult’s approval.
“Connect with Sarah?”
Name the person, explain what will be shared, and keep refusal available. Disconnection is also described on this screen.
Show success—and a way back
Confirmation establishes the relationship; an expired code offers a specific recovery action.
Memory experience
A personal memory becomes an invitation to talk, choose, or simply look.
A gentle activity, with choices throughout
Ask for participation rather than a correct answer. Pause and Not now remain visible.
Share by voice, then choose what follows
Recording and continuation are distinct states; a person can start again instead of being pushed onward.
Let the moment return to family
Responses preserve personal stories, while guidance suggests a gentle next conversation.
Design decisions
Make agency visible in the interface: pause, choose another medium, change language, or leave.
Pause is a state—not a dead end
Keep the same layout; change Pause to Resume while Finish & save remains available.
Words and photographs are equal entry points
A few words are enough; adding context to a photograph is optional.
One interaction hierarchy, two languages
English and Chinese retain the same photo, sharing prompt, and choice to defer.
Continuing is optional
Offer another memory or a clear break without framing either choice as failure.
Color & Typography
Warm surfaces, dark primary actions, and a restrained recording accent keep the presentation calm and legible.
A familiar moment.
One clear next step.
Your story. Your pace.

Results
Memori brings a family-driven memory loop into a bilingual high-fidelity prototype. Early caregiver research highlights the adoption questions the next usability study should test.
- A final prototype of 102 screens.
- English and Chinese experiences for older adults and family.
- Connected flows for consent, memory sharing, activities, and personal diaries.
Reported uncertainty about effectiveness.
Worried the older adult could not or would not use it.
