AUTOSPACE: REVOLUTIONIZING CAR CARE WITH AUGMENTED REALITY

This innovative application leverages AR technology to empower car owners and transform the learning experience for auto repair professionals.

My Role in Shaping the User Experience:

As a key contributor to Autospace, I played a pivotal role in crafting an intuitive and user-friendly AR solution designed for both car owners and automobile engineers.

  • Leading Ideation: I spearheaded the brainstorming process, guiding the team towards an AR solution that effectively addresses car owner needs.
  • Visualizing the Experience: I translated those ideas into a clear storyboard for the car owner journey, followed by initial sketches that brought the concept to life.
  • Designing for Interaction: Taking the lead on the high-fidelity design phase, I meticulously crafted interactive prototypes that allowed users to experience the car owner solution firsthand. This ensured a smooth and intuitive user experience.
  • Visual Identity: I established the brand identity through the creation of a logo that visually represents Autospace’s innovative approach to car care. Following this, I developed a comprehensive style guide to ensure consistent visual language across all aspects of the application.
