Your Virtual Living Room

When I decided to move to Los Angeles, I knew I would miss my family. I especially longed for a way to help us keep up our favorite activity: watching TV in our living room. From that desire sprung the concept for YourVLR, a web application that lets family and friends watch media together, no matter where they are in the world. 

This project -- my first journey into UX design -- served as my graduate thesis at Parsons the New School for Design.

Thanks to the help of some developer friends, I created a system flow of the system I could share with future collaborators.
