Process
This project ended up with way more trials and takeaways aside from human-centered design (e.g., game-level design, content strategy, UX writing, pitch, etc.).

Research
Background
Pursuing MBA is expensive, and two years seem a bit short for all excitement of MBA life. From admission to graduation, something more crucial than academic learning to students is the cultural legacies and inspirations about life from one another of the business school community. However, such content that could have been marketable and impactful is often vocal-based and hardly collected and documented for further use.

"

Two years passed so fast. Things seem not going as I planned and I'm not quite sure whether I could get what I wanted after graduation.”

"

 

I wish I could have known this earlier…”

"

 

You learn from talking to people about different ways of living.”
