Transportation

A sample of my work at Particle helping automotive and mobility clients define the future of in-vehicle and transit experiences

GM

Working with a small UX team at GM, we helped explore and evaluate design concepts for Cadillac's first ultra-luxury model, the Celestiq.

Project Details & Deliverables

  • Collaborate with client team to define the interaction model for the vehicle's pillar-to-pillar display using a combination of steering wheel controls and a console-mounted multi-function controller (MFC).
  • Conduct formative research with target user group of ultra-luxury vehicle owners to understand existing needs, motivations, and preferences
  • Evaluate design concepts with target user group
  • Iterate designs based on feedback and provide recommendations for future versions

My Role

  • Overall project lead and UX strategy
  • Plan and coordinate research activities, analyze data and create reports/video summaries
  • Lead design explorations, scenario & use case development, wireframing, prototyping
