How can I make interactions with energy more visible and tangible?
The Avatar home energy app is an energy budgeting tool. Avatar ensures households can understand and control their energy consumption through interactive visuals and tangible feedback.
Rising energy bills, certain families have one sole controller of the home technology and uncertainty about energy consumption are having a negative effect on households. Whilst users find smart technologies very informative and useful; there are users – such as children and other groups – who struggle to understand. Through optimising and engaging design, Avatar seeks to keep all users informed.
I am a considerate, adaptable and optimistic interaction designer interested in applying design to many aspects of life. I strive to solve problems and to improve people’s experiences as they go about their daily lives.
