BUMP is a design-driven platform that reimagines how we capture, organize, and share collective memories.
The idea began with a personal moment. After my grandmother passed away, I realized I had never shared some of my favorite photos with her. I’d put it off—due to limited phone storage and unintuitive sharing methods—and the chance was gone. That moment made me reflect on how easily memory-sharing can become fragmented, especially across generations.
BUMP transforms shared events into collaborative memory spaces. It connects with calendar tools to simplify event setup, sync participants, and automatically archive media. Content captured during events is uploaded in real time, organized by AI, and made easy to revisit through interactive archive and map views.
To remove barriers that often come with digital tools, BUMP introduces gesture-based invites, auto-generated group chats, and a voice-activated assistant. Its interface is designed with flexibility and clarity in mind, so anyone—regardless of their comfort with technology—can contribute and connect.
This project reflects my approach to product design: starting from lived experience, and building systems that prioritize emotional connection, accessibility, and inclusivity. I conducted user interviews, mapped interaction flows, and built a high-fidelity prototype in Figma.
BUMP isn’t just about sharing media—it’s about making memory-sharing feel natural, meaningful, and shared by everyone.
- Overview
BUMP is a memory-sharing platform designed to help families bridge digital literacy gaps across generations. It enables seamless capturing, organizing, and sharing of meaningful moments through intuitive, real-time interactions—supporting stronger emotional bonds between loved ones.
Duration: 4 months
Role: UX Research, UI Design, Prototyping
Tools: Figma, Maze, Google Forms
Type: Solo Project
Target Users: Korean families (expandable to couples and friends)
2. The Challenge
2. The Challenge
How might we enable Korean family members—regardless of age, digital literacy, or device preference—to share memories across platforms like KakaoTalk in a more intuitive, emotionally meaningful way?
Families often create lasting memories together, but gaps in tech fluency and device compatibility make preserving those memories difficult. This project set out to reduce those barriers and create an inclusive solution.
3. User Research & Insights
3. User Research & Insights
Through interviews and surveys with users in their 20s to 70s, three user types were identified:
Tech-Strugglers: Primarily elders relying on KakaoTalk, but confused by file sharing.
Memory-Keepers: Users who value preserving memories but find current tools overwhelming.
Emotional Connectors: Seek easier ways to maintain emotional bonds.
4. Design Goals & Requirements
4. Design Goals & Requirements
Key Goals:
Support passive and active memory capturing
Minimize tech learning curve
Strengthen emotional connection through intuitive flow
Enable cross-device and app compatibility
Ensure privacy control and user consent
Requirements:
Auto-triggered events from GPS, camera use, or calendar
Real-time sharing & notification system
Memory lifecycle editing (before, during, after events)
Map and timeline-based browsing
UI Guidelines - Color
5. Key Features & Flows
5. Key Features & Flows
Auto Event Creation
Captures memories by recognizing activity (photos, audio, GPS movement). Events can be manually edited or customized.
Memory Lifecycle
Users can add, edit, or archive memories anytime—even after an event ends.
Map + Timeline Browsing
Memories can be explored geographically or chronologically.
Real-Time Sharing
Moments are instantly uploaded to a shared family stream with optional notifications.
6. Design Process
6. Design Process
I followed a user-centered design approach:
Research & Analysis: Field interviews, surveys, user journey mapping
Ideation: Sketches, feature scoping, UX prioritization
Wireframing: Created modular layouts for scalability
Prototyping: Designed responsive mockups in Figma
Testing: Received feedback from multi-generational users
All components were designed with accessibility and emotional resonance in mind.
7. Final Designs & Visual System
7. Final Designs & Visual System
The final interface embraces a clean, emotionally warm design. Visual hierarchy was crafted for clarity across age groups. Icons, color palette, and type were tested with users for readability and trust.

9. Reflection & Next Steps
9. Reflection & Next Steps
What I Learned:
Designing for a wide age range reshaped my understanding of usability and emotional design. BUMP taught me how to balance automation with user agency.
Next Steps:
Expand testing across more diverse family structures
Explore voice-interaction for lower-literacy users
Launch pilot program with real family groups and real-time invitation
BUMP isn't just a tool—it’s a gentle bridge across generations through shared memories.
