After selecting the perfect recipe, the user gets easy to follow instructions that teach on a deeper level. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602170471649-AKK9W2IU4D7I47C4JILG/Basics_renders_Eggs_BG.png Culinity - Basics Culinity strives to teach users with first hand knowledge as much as possible, and while other services lack the ability to help users develop implicit knowledge, we wanted to make sure that Culinity didn’t fall behind on explicit knowledge as well. Not only does Culinity show users how to cook specific recipes or use certain techniques, but also teaches general cooking knowledge that users can build a foundation off of. The Basics tab of Culinity teaches lessons on many subjects, ranging from techniques for how to work with trickier ingredients to the culinary science behind the recipes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602205073059-Q3LKFJEOB031GRKLQZ5I/Online_Ordering_BG_2.png Culinity - Online Ordering During our primary research phase, we found that one of the barriers that users had was availability of ingredients and accessing grocery stores. By integrating the ability to create grocery lists in the app based on ingredients on hand and what recipes require, we eliminated a barrier to entry for those who are tight on thyme. Culinity makes it easy to gather ingredients for recipes and order it all in the app, which links you to third party ordering services of your choice. You can sort by price, time, distance, or a number of other metrics to find the service that works best for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602182998601-9MUNVZIUJLT2CXUECE6G/Meet_the_Team_2.png Culinity During the making of Culinity, I acted as Team Lead to oversee the project and connect our team with our teacher to make sure we were meeting the expected benchmarks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602176879655-9UXSA66R2YWQE5E4XBHB/image-asset.png Culinity - Explicit vs. Implicit If we don’t learn lessons from the mistakes of the past, then we are doomed to repeat those failures. That’s why when we were learning about learning, we turned to a field called Instructional Design. Instructional Design is the field of using technology to teach people, and in order to truly teach younger generations to cook, it was important that we focused on imparting lessons that spurred deeper understanding. Explicit knowledge is information that’s easy to convey. “St. Louis is a city in Missouri” is explicit information. Implicit knowledge is information that must be gained by doing or experiencing. I can tell you, step by step, how you should ride a bike. However, none of that teaches you how to actually balance on one, or what it feels like to successfully ride a bike. This is implicit knowledge. Implicit knowledge is the foundation of true understanding, and thus, independence in the kitchen. This is where online recipes fail to connect with users, and where we would have to step up our game when designing our teaching solutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602185135946-3008WKNDSSHXIRJZVP9Q/C1_3.png Culinity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602187229614-R8JMO9M56UK3X6R8JEBW/Affinitization_Redo.png Culinity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602201641132-F7O1T7PTQH9V2WC4QY01/C1_Page_2_2.png Culinity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602194604853-HJS2VI4OLW4MJBO7B19M/Archetype_1.png Culinity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602276614863-QOI1PW4FM0DMAW8W2FXO/Themes.png Culinity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602276619329-AWT4PMS9PUG6NONJPPU2/Insights.png Culinity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602195528067-LRDUIAROM5O5ZVRAQXTA/Archetype_2.png Culinity https://www.collinmadden.com/pagelo daily 0.75 2025-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602002069039-Y22075T89OIMOHDTZIOY/LO_1.jpg LO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602002245175-3Z0MO9REZFOZ9O6CQZI3/LO_4.jpg LO - With two discreet modes, LO is your companion for both work and play. Equipped with bone conductive headphones as well as gaming functionality, LO is a lot of fun to use. When play time is over, LO helps you get serious by eliminating push notifications and setting timers to help you work your hardest. Paired with limited functionality in work mode that emphasizes work related tasks including conference calling, LO helps you enter into a state of ‘flow’ that maximizes productivity and minimizes distraction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602876229699-YJRE3ECO16VG2KL528QM/LO_5.jpg LO - LO puts the control in your hands The last thing we wanted was to design a great product that people had no idea how to use, or never wanted to use because it was too hard .Our research showed that voice assistants and gesture controls were less likely to be used in public, but that touch bars were too clunky and unwieldy to use all the time. That’s why we designed LO to be able to use all three. Any control modality can be disabled or enabled easily, and each has their own purpose. When users are completing hands on tasks or are otherwise occupied, they can call out to LO and do anything they normally could. The touch bar is for discreet public use, allowing users to get things done without calling attention to themselves. Gesture control allows the most direct control, and is what users asked us to emphasize during our hands on mock up testing. Each gesture is unique from the others to avoid confusion, but there are few enough that they are easy to remember. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602002137017-K9SUYVYXZ2LE5HJDO7IZ/LO_2.jpg LO - LO’s design combats the public’s negative mental model of AR Glassware Whether that be through an improved design that could more easily pass as streetwear than other high tech glasses or the multimodality that was designed into the frames themselves, LO meant business by looking chic and casual. As well, research proved to us that privacy concerns ranked high on consumers minds, so the build in camera only comes out of its housing when in use, and conveniently stores away for ensured peace of mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602002186318-583QRZRGO70ZHVEU03IP/LO_3.jpg LO - LO helps you disconnect from a purely digital world By offering the functionality and amenities of a phone while limiting distraction based on the environment you’re in, users of LO find themselves more engaged in the world around them, sometimes in ways they never imagined they could be using our unique AR geotagging system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602021560454-4CP9UOV71JDBOUN6F7MG/LO_6.jpg LO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602788821043-ZBSV6PQ3CRKZ8JZWZWY9/Timeline.png LO This was our initial schedule. What you might notice missing here is our second, third, and fourth round of Primary Research that happened concurrently with the rest of the work. This was an intensive, all hands on deck project that our team members were very enthusiastic about. Instead of pushing them, on many occasions I had to remind them to slow down to avoid burnout, yet their passion made this such a stellar project that I can’t help but be grateful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602791329607-7QL645ZB00J6H33RY7DQ/fd004ba4-9eea-4f1d-99d8-096069334138.JPG LO - We started wide and wild, then we reigned our ideas in. In a week and a half, we had to have 3-5 ideas for wearables to pitch, and they each needed separate problem statements and functions. Before we went refined, we started with the mindset that no idea was too wild or wacky to at least think about. Out of our wide range of topics and several whiteboards of ideation, we pitched our concepts to our peers, and everyone was in agreement that our AR glasses were our strongest concept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602872657236-W3TWP0C6NZWPB7VUB5EL/CA_1.png LO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602872662021-PGOHAJ8FNX0DZGGCJYWB/CA_2.png LO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1602874893682-MAVL5RYYHED9JVULUVVG/CA_3.png LO https://www.collinmadden.com/homework daily 0.75 2020-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1600363122781-AAU1F30S6CCBD8NS3IJI/original-58062563eb3c794a2f594d4289ec06db.png Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1601322813659-42J063UMWWBQ5B0V9BAD/Wivit+Bracelet+Renders.png Home (Copy) - Design for one https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1600364150914-3B5JUYEDJ1H0CPFNBIFJ/image-asset.gif Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1601322813659-42J063UMWWBQ5B0V9BAD/Wivit+Bracelet+Renders.png Home (Copy) - Design for one https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1600363122781-AAU1F30S6CCBD8NS3IJI/original-58062563eb3c794a2f594d4289ec06db.png Home (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5a595473cd737fe698f4f4/1600364150914-3B5JUYEDJ1H0CPFNBIFJ/image-asset.gif Home (Copy)
