Projects
The projects shown here represent a small selection of designs that I have worked on in my career as a designer for different companies including Telenav, Matterport, Motorola, and Razorfish.
Telenav | 2021
In-Vehicle Voice Assistant
In this presentation I review past in-vehicle voice recognition systems and how to build safer and more intuitive digital assistants for the next generation infotainment systems.
Telenav | 2018
Button Placement Strategy for Navigation App
In this presentation I discuss how cognitive psychology principals can be applied to Telenav’s reference navigation app in order to improve overall usability and ease of use of the product.
Matterport | 2015
Tagging of Objects in Virtual Spaces
This presentation was initially completed in order to define a strategy for how to integrate tags like web links, photos, videos into 3D virtual environments
Motorola | 2014
Motorola Alert Mobile App
Motorola Alert is an application to help you connect more quickly to family and friends when feeling unsafe or when in an emergency. When you put your phone in alert mode, it sends periodic notifications with your location to the people you designate so they can act fast to get you the help you need.
The app was designed to support value-tiered markets like Brazil and India where threats to personal safety and security are an every-day concern.
Motorola Assist App
Motorola Assist detects your current activity and morphs the phone according to your needs during the activity. It can recognize when you shouldn’t be bothered, like when you’re sleeping or in a meeting. After hours, it only lets important calls through. It even knows when you’re driving and can automatically read out new text messages or play music. When you’re at home it can announce calls. You can set actions and exceptions so that they work exactly how you want them to based on your context.
Sentience UX Project
Back in 2014, I was asked to investigate what new experiences could be created for the mobile platform using the new sensor technologies available at that time. I examined the possibility of creating devices that can detect, assess, and react to a user's affective state.
Razorfish | 2010
JCPenney.com Guided Navigation Menu System
Razorfish worked closely with JCPenney to create a guided navigation menu solution for their website. This was an extremely visible and important project for JCP since it would affect how users would ultimately browse and find most products on the site.
