Stay multilingual, stay in touch.

CircLing is an app for multilingual people to stay in touch with their languages via data insights on their language usage and reminders of memories they've made in different languages in their chats. The system tracks what language you need to practice and sends memories in it.

↓ The Design Process ↓

A1: Needfinding

Our team explored spaces of Languages and Festivals through needfinding interviews and structured insight synthesis to uncover the emotions, pain points, and individual journeys of our chosen population.

A2: POV, HMW, Experience Prototypes

We focused the scope of our needfinding and uncovered deeper insights. We took these insights and refined the problems discovered by crafting “Point of View” statements. We brainstorm solutions using “How Might We” statements. Finally, we de-risked ideas with experience prototypes.

A4: Concept Video

We created a concept video that helped us both deepen our solution and better present our idea and the context of our project.
