Redesigning Time: Can it feel human? | Gresshaa Mehta | TEDxUofW
Time dictates our lives, often feeling oppressive, inaccessible, and unforgiving. But what if the problem isn't us, but the way we visualize time? In her thought-provoking talk, Gresshaa, a product designer at Microsoft, challenges conventional design perspectives by exploring the intersections of UX design, physics, time, and cultural influences. She invites the audience on a sensory journey to reimagine how we perceive and interact with time. By examining how design shapes our experience of time, Gresshaa offers fresh insights into making time more accessible and empowering us to take control of it, rather than feeling controlled by it.

Jordan is a sophomore at Saint Andrew's School, where she has been attending since seventh grade. She grew up in Houston, Texas, and is still getting used to exchanging rodeos for sandcastles!

Additionally, she spends what little free time she possesses reading, writing, and playing her guitar, to the annoyance of her two pets.
