User Experience and User Interface Designer: wireframes, mockups, prototypes, user testing, Accessibility, motion design, interaction design
This Platform was created to preserve and celebrate the lived experiences of the Silent Generation, born roughly between 1928 and 1945. Many of their grandchildren are technologically advanced enough to record and transcribe their journey on their behalf. The Silent Generation spent their youth in a time marked by rapid cultural change, historic milestones, and shared social moments that shaped entire communities. Yet much of that personal history exists only in memories, unrecorded, or fragmented censored stories.
This platform was designed to bring those memories out of the coffers in order to help piece together the present.
Through an intuitive, accessible interface, baby boomers, Gen X and Gen Z could document stories from the lives of the silenced generation –social gatherings, pivotal personal milestones, neighborhood traditions, advancements, and celebrations of joy or resilience. The system then connected these stories to major historical events of the era, helping users see how their lived experiences intersected with broader cultural timelines.
Beyond storytelling, the platform fostered connection and community. Users could discover others who lived through similar moments, reminisce about shared cultural touchpoints, and build meaningful intergenerational archives for families and communities.
The result was a digital space where memory, history, and human connection converged – designed to honor personal narratives while making them accessible, interactive, and enduring.
