One of my projects at Vodafone’s User Experience team was looking after the Light behaviour of the Vodafone 360 Samsung H1 device – I really got to do the fun kind of design definition, which is through video prototyping, and physical prototyping.
‘Applied Dreams’ are two-week innovation workshops in which Interaction-Ivrea faculty and students collaborate with an industry partner. The aim of these workshops is to develop a range of future concepts for products and services.
I worked together with Huie Peh and Ana Huedo and as a student group we developed 24Shots for our industry partner: Orange/France Telecom.
Commissioned by Philips Corporate Marketing, this project aimed to explore what the new brand promise of Sense and Simplicity meant in terms of design strategy, product development, interaction and product design, material and finishing. One of my favourite projects – by domain, process and team. It didn’t hurt that we got patents out of it as well.
Commissioned by Philips Medical Systems, this project was just the tip of the iceberg of the Ambient Healthcare strategy to come. It encapsulates the pre-, scan and post-scan user-experiences for both patient and medical team, through a series of responsive environments.
Great project team, enjoyable project, and later, lots of people thought it was a really cool service and product and so gave it IF and IDSA awards…
This was a fun project to do – the limited input/hardkey interaction, small screen, and context-of-use served as both design constraint and creative challenge.
It was annoying when the Philips-Nike partnership ended but personally I think the Apple-Nike partnership makes more sense and enabled the product and service to go much further than what was achieved with Philips.
An interesting project – the first one I ever did at Philips Design and I learned so so much about internal business and design processes, propositions, product service delivery to the technical implementation teams.
