About me

Portrait of Cheche

Hi, I'm Cheche. I'm from Bhutan, and I'm a Master's student at Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan.

About this page

This is where I develop and test prototypes for the Design & Prototyping course over the semester. Each week I share something you can try and write down what I learned from it.

The page keeps changing as the work does, so if you come back later it will probably look different.

Three challenges

These describe problems only, not solutions. The aim is to understand who is affected and why it matters before deciding what to build.

[Challenge 1 title]

Who is affected today

[Describe the people who live with this problem now.]

What changes day to day once it's addressed

[What would their ordinary day look like?]

What changes for communities and society

[Wider effects beyond the individual.]

Why it's worth years of effort

[Why this deserves long-term commitment.]

Unforeseen consequences

[What could go wrong, or who might lose out?]

[Challenge 2 title]

The idea I'm exploring

[One or two sentences on the idea.]

My biggest risk

[The assumption most likely to be wrong.]

Kill signal (what would make me drop or change it)

[A specific result that would tell me to stop or change course.]

Build log

Newest first. Every week's build stays in its own folder, so older ones remain reachable.

    What I tested

    [What the prototype was and what question it was meant to answer.]

    With whom

    [Who tried it, e.g. "4 classmates" or "2 friends who cook daily". No names needed.]

    What I observed

    [What people did, where they got stuck, what surprised me.]

    "[A direct quote from someone who tried it.]"

    What it shows / what I'll change

    [What I learned and what I'll do differently next week.]
