CLARE VILLALBA Design GRADUATE
2015 Portfolio
CLARE VILLALBA Industrial Design Student
Details & Experience
Hello, my name is Clare Villalba and I am a Industrial Design honours graduate from Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Today, manufacturing is so easy that anybody can produce a product or service and get it out on the market. However the future of design does not lie in this cheap disposable market, but in the ability of designers to produce outcomes that are more than what people expect. My focus as a designer is in the thoughtfulness of design; considering the users and their needs, recognising the context of use and understanding the experience. Through this process the products we design will be able to better meet the user’s practical and emotional needs. This portfolio is a collation of my individual and group work i completed as a student at QUT.

GRADUATE DESIGNER UX Design EXPERIENCE
I am currently working as a graduate designer for the Australian Public Service, where I am completing various user experience rotations.
My initial five month rotation was in the Co-Design Centre, where I planned, conducted and analysed user testing. Subsequently, I completed five weeks in the Call Centre getting to know the clients that use our services. Until the Graduate Program completion in February 2016, my position is as a digital service designer planning user experiences and creating digital prototypes.
User experience design and user testing
Design development and blueprinting
Interface prototyping and information design
Implement user experience design approaches including user experience mapping, application of heuristics and results from user testing.
Work with clients and stakeholders to identify design criteria, develop high level designs and progress the design development ready for production.
Design, iterate and present Axure interface prototypes and specifications. Create information design products for internal communications.
AURA
Aura aims to empower women to feel connected, prepared and aware as Honours project 2014 they travel at night. The audio awareness device is a stylish accessory which utilises bone conduction audio, has a low attention navigation interface and provides a reactive feature. Aura will enhance the experience of exploring the urban landscape at night for women and will ensure they are empowered to keep themselves safe.

Shared Pulse
Sharedpulse uses interaction design to enhance blood donation Team Project 2013 by sharing the experience, thus meeting the donation demands of the future. It acts as a mediator, allowing donors to share the news of their donation, receive encouraging appreciation from their network and increase awareness.
“Demand for blood and blood products will grow by 100% over the next ten years”
Developed in conjunction with the Red Cross and feedback from real blood donors.
Australian Red Cross
DESIGN BRIEF: In-Touch
Share news updates
Use Gestural interaction
Aid Future Healthcare
Avoid using Screens
A film of a donor using shared pulse when donating can be viewed at vimeo.com/90521275
Design Process: Learn By Making Models were created throughout every stage of the design. From deconstructing and reassembling at the start to 3D printing and programing at the end
Model exploration clare villalba
After visiting the Red Cross to donate, donors send the news to a network of friends, family and the donation recipient, informing them that another generous life saving donation has been made.
The sense of community surrounding donation is increased, connecting donors with their network and donation recipients.
Each blood donation can save up to three lives.
The news is also sent to the donation recipient including them in the process.

The donation news is sent to network members who engage with their device by shaking it to generate encouragement in the form of light...

Sequence of use Clare villalba
Shared Pulse allows an enhance donation experience, through engaging donors and donation recipients in the process, through building emotional connections and engaging users.
Donors remain anonymous throughout the process, maintaining their modesty
In the future it would be possible to integrate Shared Pulse into other products such as a drink bottle. Here it could be used to improve the health of the donors by tracking water intake

Aroma Invigorate Redesign
The Breville Aroma Fresh, drip coffee machine, was deconstructed, analysed and redesigned. The redesign, known as Team Project 2013 the Aroma Invigorate, was designed to reduce production costs, improve usability and increase perceived market value.

REDESIGN:
DESIGN Overview The Aroma Invigorate is a sophisticated and affordable drip coffee machine. The range of stylish colours allows users to select an appropriate colour to match their personality or home. The machine reduces production costs whilst increasing market value. This is achieved by creating aesthetic associations with high end coffee machines and the traditional espresso machines, thus enhancing the emotional and aesthetic value of the machine. The Aroma Invigorate utilises colour cues to guide usage making it is simple and easy for any domestic coffee drinker to use.

Flicker Lighting ILLUMINAire Design
Flicker was designed as an entry for the Illuminating Engineering Society student design competition 2013. The focus was to encourage Individual Project 2013 interaction in the Brisbane Southbank precinct through the use of lighting. It was awarded the FREND 2013 prize for innovative student concept design.
THE REFLECTIVE WIND POWERED UNITS CREATE WHIMSICAL LIGHT PATTERNS AND DRAW ATTENTION THROUGH THEIR GENTLE MOVEMENTS IN THE BREEZE. THE FLICKERS ACT AS A GUIDE; ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO FOLLOW THEM AND EXPLORE THE RICH CULTURAL SURROUNDINGS.
