Over fall of 2025, I participated in a project through the University of Washington’s Human-Centered Design and Engineering course, where I designed Allegro, an AI-powered online meeting assistant for English as a Second Language (ESL) employees.
Allegro supports real-time meetings by providing both technical and emotional assistance, helping ESL employees communicate more confidently.

To understand where and why communication friction occurs, we grounded our investigation in three guiding research questions:
In which moments and channels do communication breakdowns between ESL employees and teammates most often occur?
Which work tasks or goals are most affected by communication frictions?
What tactics and tools do ESL employees currently use to reduce confusion, and how effective are they?

As a team with all ESL members, working on Allegro pushed us to rethink both ESL communication and how we collaborate. Early on, when we were debating which project idea to pursue, we created an evaluation form to compare concepts based on creativity, innovative potential, and user value, and this helped us move from opinions to productive discussion and make a confident decision. Throughout the project, our group moved forward with clear communication and respectful critique, especially when iterating on AI features.
