Traders moved thousands of dollars' worth of cards in shoeboxes. We changed that.

  • For Alibaba's FlyZoo Future Hotel, we designed and deployed a concierge robot that supported a fully self-service guest experience—guiding guests to their rooms, delivering amenities, and transporting food orders from the lobby to guest rooms.

    Challenge
    Create a self serviced hotel experience that is fully run by robots and Alibaba's AI Tmall Genie that provides automated and on-demand services to guests.

    Outcome
    ↳ Defined hardware features and touch points needed to deliver a self serviced experiences.
    ↳ Self check in kiosk for frictionless guest onboarding.
    ↳ Developed autonomous delivery robots for room service, amenities, and food delivery throughout the hotel

    Impact
    Alibaba's FlyZoo Future Hotel opened to the public in Hangzhou, China, in 2019, bringing AI-powered hospitality to life with autonomous robots throughout the guest experience.

  • Uber Elevate envisioned a future where urban air mobility is seamlessly integrated into everyday transportation. In 2017, Uber partnered with graduate students at ArtCenter College of Design to explore the infrastructure, services, and user experiences needed to bring that future to life. In 2020, Joby Aviation acquired Uber Elevate, further advancing the vision with a $75 million investment from Uber.

    Challenge
    Design and illustrate what the future of on-demand urban air transportation might look like end to end, utilizing highway clover leafs as primary infrastructure.

    Outcome
    ↳ User journey map
    ↳ eVTOL exterior and interior design
    ↳ Skyport and transportation system design
    ↳ Mobile app key moments​

    Impact
    The outcome was shared across Uber Elevate teams and industry partners to foster collaboration and momentum, leading to an invitation to present at the 2017 Uber Summit to industry leaders.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to e-commerce, inspiring the DoorDash eVTOL drone concept to connect businesses and customers through faster, on-demand delivery that expands access and reshapes last-mile logistics.

    Challenge
    Explored how an eVTOL delivery drone could connect restaurants and customers by defining key send-and-receive touchpoints and optimizing its physical form to maximize delivery throughput.

    Outcome
    ↳ Drone concept
    ↳ Pick up and drop off infrastructure concept.

  • In 2021 Kittyhawk was aiming to build autonomous, affordable and eco-friendly air taxis. Its ultra-quiet, battery-efficient eVTOL could fly hundreds of miles on a single charge and becomes barely audible shortly after takeoff. We took on the challenge to redesign the vehicle layout centered around passenger comfort and operational efficiency.

    Challenge
    Design a 2-seater eVTOL concept optimized for passenger ingress and egress, and inflight experience.

    Outcome
    Designed the exterior and interior of a two-seater eVTOL, developed 3D CAD for ergonomic evaluation, and created stills and renders to communicate the end-to-end user experience.

    Impact
    Led the leadership team in committing to a ground-up redesign of the vehicle architecture, transitioning from proof-of-concept to a commercially viable platform.
