From Apps to Services
As we are moving from tapping on an app to focusing on AI-recommended service experiences for specific micro-tasks, usually in the moment and on-the-go. We’ll only use full-feature apps when we’re not on the move. Following is a collection of augmented reality concepts enhancing day to day life.

Gestures
Along with use cases, a key gestures set was developed to do common interactions like scrolling, zooming in and out, selecting etc.
Ideation Workshop
Working with the design director, I prepared and conducted a brainstorming workshop with the client. During the workshop, I guided participants through the process and actively mentored and participated to create meaningful artifacts for visual design phase.
