Foretell Reality is a unique platform that revolutionizes human interactions by offering immersive environments specifically designed to bolster communication, learning, and collaboration. Its wide-ranging applications span from therapy and support groups to soft skills development and higher education.
As a core contributor to the Foretell Reality project, I led the design of a tool that facilitated seamless interactions between support staff, group facilitators, and users in VR. I designed a streamlined process within the VR app, making it easier for users to seek support, thereby enhancing accessibility during crucial instances.
To ensure the tool's efficiency and user-centric design, I implemented test plans, performed stress tests, and actively participated in the app testing phase.
Also, I created visual assets that encapsulated Foretell Reality's mission, enhancing the brand's aesthetic appeal.
Redesign of The Glimpse Group’s user management system. The dashboard I redesigned served a critical purpose as it was employed by multiple subsidiaries of the company and their clients, including the University of Connecticut, Foretell Reality, Edstutia Campus, and NSU Florida, to manage users, media, and experiences within virtual reality applications.
Glimpse Dashboard
My work on the project primarily entailed rethinking and revamping the dashboard's information architecture and user interface. This led to a significant improvement in user management processes, creating a more intuitive, user-friendly environment that facilitated streamlined operations across the board. My designs not only augmented the dashboard's aesthetics and usability, but also notably increased efficiency and user experience, catering to the VR application management demands of Glimpse Group's subsidiaries and their clients.
TRYO is the first multi-brand, multi-category virtual try-on experience that puts the entire shopping journey in the palm of your hand. TRYO.io is creating a vast library of 3D branded models, with over 500 items at launch (including products from Cartier, Gucci, Adidas, New Era, to name a few).
On the TRYO project, I served as a QA tester and test plan writer, playing a key role in guaranteeing the app's performance and quality. My rigorous tests helped pinpoint and fix bugs and usability concerns, refining the app's performance. Working hand-in-hand with the dev team, I helped ensure users had a smooth, fun time trying on fashion accessories in the virtual world.
