I was excited to see that I was able to lay out the core fundamentals for designing for childhood diabetes management.

My goal is to formulate innovative methods that consider design-thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration. Throughout my career, I hope I can make important changes that will shift the health design culture. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a student, I strived to explore types of art and design practices. I used each project to learn something new and develop my process of designing. I found passion in elements in interaction design that I loved, such as service design and design research.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_button size=”btn-lg” custom_typo=”yes” font_family=”font-748704″ font_weight=”400″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fmichellechann.com||target:%20_blank|”]michellechann.com[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
