This document provides an overview and design concept for a mobile application called "Chemocracy" meant to help students coordinate use of a campus chemistry lounge. The app would allow students to check the lounge's atmosphere and see who is there for what purpose in real-time. Students could also message each other through the app. The document includes wireframes and visual scenarios depicting how a student might use the app to decide whether to study in the lounge or elsewhere.

How do we approach new devices, create effective interactions and to make sure that the design solves real human problems while it's super simple to use? Recently I presented and shared my ideas at the #ISA15 - Interaction South America.
I am trying to improve people's lives through meaningful UX design and innovation. I love creative techniques and design methodologies and have recently stuck my naked foot in the waters of UX Service Design.Trying to create an experiential world around the products.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Dive into the innovative world of smart garages with our insightful presentation, "Exploring the Future of Smart Garages." This comprehensive guide covers the latest advancements in garage technology, including automated systems, smart security features, energy efficiency solutions, and seamless integration with smart home ecosystems. Learn how these technologies are transforming traditional garages into high-tech, efficient spaces that enhance convenience, safety, and sustainability.
Ideal for homeowners, tech enthusiasts, and industry professionals, this presentation provides valuable insights into the trends, benefits, and future developments in smart garage technology. Stay ahead of the curve with our expert analysis and practical tips on implementing smart garage solutions.
