Bear

Lead DesignersKansaranat Nerngchamnong
Project LocationNew York
Prize(s)Honorable Mention
Entry Description

Bear was created as a student project at Parsons School of Design, with the goals of raising awareness of the need for end-of-life conversations and providing a way to help ease the emotional struggle of bereavement.

Bear is a platform that allows people to create a Time Pod and prepare for the unknown. By creating a Time Pod, their loved ones can still visit the customized message that the user created for them for their future birthdays, wedding, other life milestones or when some days just really suck. Users might no longer be around, but their message can be their representation.

Bio

Inspired by the relationship between humans and design, I am an advocate for Design Thinking.

My passion and practice revolve around uncovering the stories behind complex problems and utilizing insights to drive growth and innovation. With my background in both the creative field and operations, I combine skills from both aspects to deliver purposeful solutions.

​Born and raised in Bangkok, I have lived in Bangkok, Thailand; Savannah, Georgia; Melbourne, Australia; and I am now based in New York where I continue to develop my curiosity and immerse myself in a multicultural environment.
