The Problem
Caregivers struggle to compare care options while protecting their own financial stability
How might we help adult children supporting an aging loved one understand the personal cost of caregiving, compare realistic care scenarios, and prepare financially for care decisions that balance cost, safety, dignity, and family capacity?
The Solution
Living care plan to create, maintain, and adapt long-term care solutions
Allow a way for caregivers identify the urgency of the situation, provide as much or as little detail about the individual in their care, and gain a clear, visual-based way to compare recommended paths. No plan is final. As the situation changes so can their selected path.

Reflection
The design world was moving fast and I was stuck at the starting line with my laces undone. EVOLUTION WAS NECESSARY!
That's to say I worked to introduce AI into my work flow optimize my workflow. Conclusion:
It worked. I spent significantly less time finagaling layouts and more time focused on what matters.
