Key Takeaways

People want to be awe-struck by magic. Implementing magic in products, interfaces, and interactions will keep people coming back and using your designs.

KeyTasks

  1. Design conception

    Inspired by an exisiting concept (Rolls Royce Starlight) and understanding how to transfer a "traditional" luxury to a modern experience that takes advantage of a new age of expectations, technology, and manufacturing. Physical prototypes of various fidelity were also built to rapidly test and validate ideas.

  2. Layout Design

    Working within the technological and engineering constraints to ensure even distribution of 500 micro LEDs across an area of 1m2, and providing users a magical experience everytime a comet shoots across the glass.

  3. Design Liason

    Working directly with engineers and suppliers from idea conception to design and final implementation in production ready cars.
