Before the pandemic, I spent over 2 hours in my car commuting. I would often spend time talking to someone on the phone or listening to music or news on the radio. When it came to listening to the news, I realized I was receiving news programmed by the stations—not the news that mattered most to me.

​

Although the concept for the news reader I created was based on my own needs, I was excited to learn through research that my concept would help commuters, the visually impaired, and anyone wanting a hands-free tailored news experience.
