AudioJourney was inspired by my friend Ada, who is blind. Through our conversations, I learned that many audio recording tools rely heavily on visual interfaces, making them difficult to use independently.

AudioJourney is a lightweight, portable sound recording device designed specifically for visually impaired travelers. Each city has its own version of the device, featuring tactile patterns inspired by accessible destinations and local landmarks.

This project taught me valuable insights about accessible design for the blind community. For instance, while designing the square shape, I realized the importance of carefully selecting the circular on/off button, as it significantly impacts ease of use. It also became clear that every detail must be described thoroughly to help users visualize and understand how to interact with the device.
I am deeply grateful to Ada and all the people who supported me and provided invaluable feedback throughout the design process. This experience reinforced my commitment to user-centered design, aiming to create thoughtful, accessible solutions from start to finish.
