Summary
In Fall 2024, I had the privilege of participating in DAAP’s Collaborative Studio focused on Children’s Service Design. Throughout the semester, I worked closely with a team of peers on a comprehensive service design project aimed at supporting emotional regulation in children under 12. Our solution, Moodbuddy, is an interactive service designed for parents and children to foster emotional awareness, strengthen connections, and promote healthy communication. Moodbuddy transforms parenting into a collaborative partnership, helping families navigate emotions together while enhancing educational engagement in today’s digital age.
While I was deeply engaged in the collaborative content at Messer the rest of my projects were confidential but I am happy to answer questions regarding my experience!
Key Takeaways
Collaboration is a crucial building block for my professional development. They aren't going to bite, take some chances, learn new experiences, connect with some new amazing people.
Adaptability in the workplace is crucial to success even if you don't want to do it. People are willing to teach you new experiences and that will give you a knowledge boost, never turn down experiences that will teach you new things.
Flexibility in the workplace comes from trust and communication. Being able to clearly and concisely communicate my needs makes it easier on everyone not just me.
