I spent the bulk of my time interviewing clients. I reached out to people in all directions to speak with as many blind and visually impaired people as possible. I got in touch with elderly folks through the Kellogg Eye Center’s vision support group, had access to college students through the University of Michigan’s accessibility office, and interviewed many high school students and their parents through the past president of Parents of Children with Visual Impairments. One major challenge at first was making sure we were equipped to physically interact with completely blind clients. My team and I researched and practice leading one another around blindfolded, and when the time came to help somebody around we were able to. I very much enjoyed the interviewing process, and was proud of the scope of information gleaned from asking questions, listening to stories, and observing examples of how people with blindness and visual impairments go about their day-to-day lives. Empathy is the key word here. In this photo we see Mary, who lost her vision in November 2016 from chemotherapy for lung cancer. The device I am holding is a liquid level measure which tells her when a container is nearly full. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542230594626-UXWO6TE5L4K111348MA0/TikToc+Workflow.png Design - Workflow. Once the interviews were all completed, it was time to figure out how to synthesize our findings into a successful project requirements document. My team and I developed a workflow for how students interact with a project specification, pointing out critical moments, pain points, failure points, and non-ideal states. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542232168497-BY2PB2K41SYSVGQNBJFM/image-asset.png Design - Personas. My team and I learned much about personas and persona mapping in our Menlo workshop, and we intended to maximize the benefits of what we had learned. I proposed the bold design decision to actually incorporate the personas we developed into the specification document itself, and we developed a persona-mapping exercise for the class to partake in. The persona-mapping exercise we developed for the course included mapping primary, secondary, and tertiary personas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542226840219-94EOWBFWBPXYB7IQN4JN/image-asset.png Design - Iterative Contrasting Designs. Now that my team and I had an idea of what we needed in a strong product, we created two contrasting documents: a Succinct design, and a Verbose design. In the succinct document, I wanted to see whether the stakeholders would prefer a project specification without the frills. In the verbose document, I wanted to see whether stakeholders and users would enjoy more visual elements, including the infographic I created on the left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542226870941-S3474A85RY05FT6MDKMS/eng100+%281%29.png Design - Solution. After several rounds of feedback on our design iterations from stakeholders and users, we developed our product. This took the form of: One 5-page project specifications document, and two 3-page course assignments (brainstorming and persona-mapping).

Dance Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542222678967-RKKR9LP2E3ESCR5HS6JB/FullSizeRender.jpg Project: Dance Space - Brainstorm. For SI 582: Interaction Design, I decided to tackle an issue close to my heart. Dance Space empowers you to see, use, and catalogue dance spaces on campus. These eight panels represent eight different early brainstorms of what Dance Space could be. I struggled with making the ideas very different (many are just variations on the same solutions), and I am still improving on my brainstorming skills as a designer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542222841806-VA8C13H0MDBT1NPIWSLY/FullSizeRender-1.jpg Project: Dance Space - Storyboard. I developed a 5-panel storyboard for each of the 8 brainstormed solutions. The purpose of each workflows is to help convey my design problem and solution. This step in the design process was vital for me to not only expand upon my brainstormed ideas, but for me to become more comfortable sharing my solutions with peers and users, in order to get feedback. One challenge was definitely being confident enough to share these ideas with people! But I persevered because I know that without feedback, the iterative design process is far from useful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542223781916-J2MBV891K3X59ZNH3IZS/Screen+Shot+2018-11-14+at+1.54.26+PM.png Project: Dance Space - Personas. I developed several personas for users of Dance Space. This step is integral for building empathy and, when working on a team, weaving a design narrative. Luckily for me, with my many years of experience and first-hand friendships with dancers on campus, I was able to conduct many informal interviews in order to synthesize personas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542223073176-B72B4YFPJ7VVPL6Q5830/New+Mockup+1.png Project: Dance Space - Prototype. Using Balsamiq Mockups 3, I developed views for my prototype. The purpose of this lo-fidelity prototype is to see how users expect things to work, and to assess the flow of information and use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542223031068-VZDX9QBEI4J6CS4Z3SZU/IMG_9210.JPG Project: Dance Space - Test. I enlisted several peers and dancers to test my paper prototype. For example, Leanna, a dancer on EnCore, told me that she would suggest having a dance space reservation confirmation screen. Based on this feedback, such a screen was implemented. It is vital to take feedback with humility, because in this case the user is the expert and I as a researcher am doing my best to learn from them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1545251545447-DKDQPE4TGFXHNZFG1ZU2/Screen+Shot+2018-12-13+at+4.27.12+PM.png Project: Dance Space - Digital Prototype. After receiving feedback on this iteration of the paper prototype, I created a digital prototype. For this I learned how to use Adobe xd, and found the process quite enjoyable! https://liamwies.squarespace.com/floyd-1 daily 0.75 2019-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542234824448-VOII0U1REOEUB6U3KMZJ/Ethos_Images__0003_4.jpg Consulting: Floyd https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542234184493-ACHQFZFCZHRGAV1SA4QC/MAINTAINING+COMPANY+CULTURE+AS+A+STARTUP+GROWS+%281%29.png Consulting: Floyd - Background Research. Before performing any interviews, we need to have an idea of the problem at hand. I cannot go into specifics because this is ongoing work for a real industry client, but I created this infographic to illustrate some of the findings I synthesized through my background research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542234450144-F4PCPWBTPT39RKLS4G9I/image-asset.jpeg Consulting: Floyd - Interview. My favorite part of the process, we had the opportunity to interview Floyd employees at all levels. By asking carefully tailored questions and gathering stories and artifacts, we are able to piece together the problem Floyd is experiencing. With this knowledge we hope to synthesize the best possible recommendation for our client. To have a better understanding of Floyd and their current file sharing system concerns, we adopted a semi-structured interview method called contextual inquiry. From October 23rd to 30th, we interviewed 9 employees from Floyd, including eight on-site interviews at their office and one remote video interview. The roles of our interviewees ranged from Head of Customer Experience, to User Interface designer, Head of operation, and COO. For each interview, two representatives from our team were present, one as an interviewer and the other as a notetaker. The interviews usually lasted around 45 to 60 minutes. During the interview, we asked a set of questions about how they used the file sharing system and how they communicated with other team members. During the interview, we also observed how they utilized Google Drive and their local computers to create, save and search for files. Within 48 hours of each interview, the four of us conducted an interpretation session to reflect and synthesize our key findings from the interview and observation. During each interpretation session, we generated around fifty one-sentence notes based on our notes from the interview and the recordings. This helped us contextualize the observations and take the first step of our analysis. We also annotated our interview notes to reflect and critique our prior interviews in preparation for the following ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1542234541228-8MBL49XF5N5Y1PSDYUDW/image-asset.jpeg Consulting: Floyd - Affinity Wall. After conducting all nine interviews, we created an affinity wall for systematic qualitative analysis. We wrote down interpretations and quotes from the interviews on about three hundred sticky notes in total. We then grouped the notes based on the problem addressed, and summarized these problems into complete sentences. We then organized these large clusters of groups based on the problem topics such as naming, searching, sharing, file management, and collaboration. We wrote out affinity notes of important takeaways from each interview and organized them into clusters, clusters of clusters, and so on. This allowed us perform qualitative data analysis from individual pieces of qualitative data. One major challenge at this point was the time required by the exercise! My team and I were tired and sometimes got frustrated. I learned that it is important to have team snacks, and to take breaks when necessary. Keeping the team vibe positive is imperative! https://liamwies.squarespace.com/recommendations daily 0.75 2026-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/99d17b22-dfb3-4465-b7bc-eff9922b493a/IMG_1133-2.png Recs - Make it stand out Vanessa King, Head of Design https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/5c5cec7d-a383-488f-b38b-ffa6f933b920/unnamed.png Recs - Make it stand out John Kuhn, CTO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/e09f8406-ee97-49a9-92de-3b6f8869ac41/1663182426395.jpeg Recs - Make it stand out Emma Peterson, Data Insights Engineer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/ae758c3a-b0b8-4f51-8964-31f823f877ba/IMG_4643-2%2Bcopy.jpg Recs - Make it stand out Antonio Solano, Lead Product Designer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/fad2589f-5340-48f2-b7b6-451986902dac/Screenshot+2025-10-16+at+10.26.13%E2%80%AFAM.png Recs - Make it stand out Liam with Pratt Communications Design MFA students in Tech B, Fall 2024 https://liamwies.squarespace.com/teaching daily 0.75 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/9607df1d-9ec9-4d5e-9958-994cfc487ced/IMG_4373.JPG Teaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/1779737240800-Y0MQHONIO8CRBLSZOV2G/IMG_4390.JPG Teaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/d10a5168-837a-4ce1-b4a3-df4f0b82884d/write-up.png Teaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://liamwies.squarespace.com/about daily 1.0 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/bdbb9119-d74d-45c5-8ab1-52e1991a5cc9/LiamWiesenberger4.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://liamwies.squarespace.com/video daily 0.75 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/4811ef6d-b2a9-4119-9860-91f7398de178/Screenshot+2025-10-09+at+4.44.51%E2%80%AFPM.png Video - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/4c94f844-8da4-4f13-bd69-74b32e42b002/Screenshot+2025-10-13+at+5.22.15%E2%80%AFPM.png Video - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://liamwies.squarespace.com/studio daily 0.75 2026-08-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/83f38d0f-a600-4b94-857b-81c02f9530b2/IMG_8518.JPG Studio - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bde22519f8770518b81dc41/8e005328-5416-43e4-bf52-efe786d0c981/IMG_1837.jpg Studio - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
