For Chris Fahey's Interaction Design Fundamentals class, we proposed ideas for the NYC Big Apps competition. NYC opened several city databases to the public in an effort to promote transparency, and entrants were inspired to build mobile apps based around this data.

Having recently read Richard Layard's Happiness: Lessons from a New Science, I designed a mobile app to encourage happiness among New Yorkers. Despite the legendary NYC exuberance, the city is one of the unhappiest in the US.

The app is built around 3 factors: The Story, The City, And Us.
