Nostrum

Nostrum is a fake company designed to critique the wellness supplement industry. We created an experience that began with an online questionnaire, and led you to a wellness center experience, complete with a simulated ‘biometric essence’ scanner and trial products.

This project was a collaboration with teammates Hailey Windsor, Frankie Spektor, Annalise Kamegawa, and Heidi Dong, as the final project for NWMEDIA C190-003: Critical Practices with Prof. Jill Miller in Fall 2018. I was responsible for market research, the design of the product packaging and pamphlet, as well as the design and packaging of electronics for the `biometric scanner’ in our wellness center. Chris Meyers of the Citris Invention Lab provided lots of help and constructive feedback throughout this project - thank you!

This project is currently featured in the CITRIS Technology Museum at UC Berkeley.
