Product Design & Art Direction

Bringing Families Peace with Public Pods.

I led the art direction for Headspace: Room to Breathe, a physical meditation pod concept designed to bring Headspace into high-stimulus urban environments and support families navigating public spaces. The work helped reimagine Headspace beyond the screen and has received recognition by The Rookies, IDA Awards, and Indigo Awards.

Families and Public Spaces

In today’s urban landscapes, high foot traffic and stimuli become common stressors for children and parents navigating public spaces. In a heavily industrialized society, how can modern families adapt to the urban environment? Or better yet, is it the environment that should adapt to the modern family.

Shifting my role from UX Lead to Visual Design, I helped lead our revisionary meetings, correcting and communicating 2D elements into 3D atmospheres.

This stage within our process was extremely iterative, being careful to explore creative paths while still incorporating this year's CBS Super Bowl branding.

Designed for Families, with Families.

By collaborating with families to help ideate a physical concept, we better understood their needs and opinions, and considered perspectives and new features we might have overlooked as students.

USER TESTING

How we tested users by bringing Room to Breathe to life.

A/B Testing

Users pilot tested our digital features against different information architecture.

Prototype Simulation

Users simulated the actual size and experience of the Pod, all made with cardboard & tape.

Heuristic Survey

After experiencing our simulation, users gave honest feedback through non-moderated surveys.

We then simulated our design out of cardboard.

In order to test Room to Breathe's features, we simulated a 'minimal' prototype to evaluate the usability of the product's interior architecture and interface with user feedback.

FINAL DELIVERY

Allowing parents and children some Room to Breathe.
