Curious Garden
Curious Garden is a real-time, voice-first AI learning companion for children that blends multimodal interaction with positive psychology principles. I designed El to guide kids through learning using natural conversation, visual support cards, and strength-based feedback, helping them build confidence, resilience, and curiosity. The experience moves beyond simple Q&A into a structured, supportive learning journey.
