Presenting Community Qualitative Data: Lessons from Moray Mental Wealth
Haiyin Xu, Independent Web Developer
This talk used Moray Mental Wealth as a case study to show how community experiences were translated into an interactive digital platform. It covered decisions around data mapping, interface design, and the challenges of visualising human experiences. The project was developed through multiple user workshops. Haiyin also reflected on which feedback improved the product, which suggestions added unnecessary complexity, and how to make practical decisions when user needs and technical constraints conflict.
