Hi, my name is Elsa Kao. The user journey drew my attention and led me into the design field. I am passionate about translating insights into human-centred solutions, and believe design is a process of creating products that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and engaging, as all three are equally important.
Mr. Mostaccio - The Everyday Veggie Collection

The Everyday Veggie Collection is designed to surprise users and enhance daily routines and mood. This collection applies emotional design principles to explore the connection between mood and tableware. By incorporating food elements into the design, it aims to boost users’ mood through joyful moments of surprise, maximising a key source of everyday delight. These food-inspired elements subtly enhance mood through emotional engagement, creating a more uplifting dining experience.
When no longer used as tableware, the Everyday Veggie Collection serves as a decorative piece, extending its product life cycle. The collection is suitable for all ages, particularly those in their late 20s, and is designed to add subtle delight as individuals build their homes. It also makes an ideal new-home gift, offering a way to “send joy” to recipients.

Spotify: Wrapped Collection

Spotify Wrapped Profile is a collectable artefact that turns personal listening stories into shareable, memorable experiences. Embracing the retro revival of physical music culture, it transforms Spotify Wrapped into a series of NFC-enabled cards that link back to the app while encouraging collecting, gifting and display. Users can buy their profile or earn one by reaching the top 0.001% of listeners of their favourite artist. Designed to be stackable for collection or wall-mounted as décor, the profiles assemble into a Spotify code when viewed from above, creating a tactile and visually branding touchpoint.
