In the contemporary landscape, characterized by technological advancements and a proliferation of scams, the pursuit of financial security has assumed greater complexity. Individuals, grappling with the challenges of economic stability, often explore various avenues to augment their income, unwittingly exposing themselves to fraudulent schemes. This vulnerability is particularly pronounced among the elderly, who may find navigating the intricacies of the modern world daunting, making them susceptible to deceptive practices.


In response to this pressing issue, I assumed a proactive role in conceiving and developing the product "iElders." My contributions to the project included conducting comprehensive semi-structured interviews, designing sophisticated low-fidelity interfaces, and rigorously testing user flows.


The culmination of these efforts resulted in the recognition of the project as the "Best Interface Design in Visual" among a cohort of 35 students, underscoring the efficacy and excellence of the undertaken initiatives.

Even with my background in cybersecurity, I've seen how sophisticated scams can be. For elders, it's crucial to have an app that imparts knowledge about the evolving landscape of scams. An app that not only educates but also serves as a constant reminder would significantly contribute to their online safety.
