“Divya is driven, detail oriented and one of the most capable product managers I have worked with. She has a knack for getting down to the little details without losing sight of the overall big picture, striking a delicate balance to ensure the project keeps moving forward. Also, her sense of art and deep love for it brings a very refreshing perspective to the team and product, which adds so much value to the final user experience. Finally, I think one of her biggest strengths is that she is a great facilitator and hence she adds value to the group by not just her work but also facilitating other people in the group hence improving their output and efficiency as well. ”

Wordcraft: Playing with Sentence Structure
CHI PLAY '15 Proceedings of the 2015 Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play
Wordcraft is a new interactive tablet application that allows children to explore sentence structures and their meanings. Wordcraft uses a constructionist design: children manipulate word cards to build sentences, which come to life in a storybook-like animated world to illustrate meaning. Such visual feedback helps children play with parts of speech and understand how they fit together to form sentences. Preliminary studies suggest that children are able to observe and discuss how different…
Wordcraft is a new interactive tablet application that allows children to explore sentence structures and their meanings. Wordcraft uses a constructionist design: children manipulate word cards to build sentences, which come to life in a storybook-like animated world to illustrate meaning. Such visual feedback helps children play with parts of speech and understand how they fit together to form sentences. Preliminary studies suggest that children are able to observe and discuss how different sentence constructs result in different meanings.
Wordcraft was selected for a poster presentation in the WIP (Work in Progress) section at CHI Play 2015.Other authors -

Wordcraft
An interactive iPad app where children aged 4-8 can build sentences and get immediate visual feedback. We believe that this approach can impact a child's meta-linguistic awareness. This project received an honorable mention for best final project in the track 'Enhancing User Experiences.'
