Introduction

Designing for Our Senses

Sensory overload is the chosen topic that Audrey used for her culminating project. Sensory overload is when your five senses are overwhelmed by the information and you cannot proceed with any perceived information. Then, Audrey wants to help other people, especially her friends and also herself, who struggle with sensory overload.

Audrey also has some interests and hobbies that relate to the arts. She enjoys designing something and her dream is to be an architect. So, she wants to combine this issue with her interest. Therefore, her product is to make a more comfortable learning space in her class and also the other class in the year 9 level. 

She has spent some time doing research, finding inspiration, and making a sketch of the room design. She also conducted some interviews with the design teacher and counselor to get a better idea and information about the issue and the product. Then, she also had discussions with her classmates to discuss classroom design and to get some insight and feedback from them. 

From this project, Audrey has improved her communication skills. She could collaborate with teachers, friends, and classmates to make this project done. She also has improved her reflection skills. She was really open to feedback and knew what things could be improved from her project.
