Looking Outwards 09

This week I am looking at Heather Kelley.

Heather Kelley is a designer that does game design, sense design, and interaction design.

She studied at University where she got her MA in advanced communications technologies. She works at perfect plum currently but she has done many amazing things like co-found Kokoromi and named as one in five of the most powerful women in gaming.

One project I thought was cool was how she added onto a Star Wars exhibit. Basically, she designed kiosks that were in front of characters in the movies and it reveals their origin, family, mentors, careers, and personal values, so people can figure out which character they identify with.

I really admire this project because one it shows how to enhance the experience of an exhibit which in nature can often be boring. Also, it allows people to explore identities and see how they may identify with a character they may not expect.
