Mentoring

Giving back to Current Students and Junior Talent Through Mentorship

Concepting, designing, and prototyping to solve
problems and create exceptional experiences

Summary

When starting out in the industry, I saw very few women or BIPOC in the Creative Technology and Experiential industry, making it difficult to find and seek mentorship. My goal once hitting my stride was to make myself available and accessible for mentorship for anyone who wants to know what Creative Technology or Experiential is, how to enter into the field, as well as conducting portfolio and resume reviews to ensure the next generation of creatives is more diverse and empowered than the last.

I've been doing that through We Are Next's "Coffee At A Distance" program, participating in University speaking events, and through ADPList. As a result, I've had 3 University speaking opportunities and over 50+ 1:1 conversations and look forward to finding additional ways to give back to upcoming talent.

Concept

Use AR to animate instructions right off the page for improved context

AR provides two key features that help users further understand their environment. 1) It puts in augmented content wherever the user holds their phone camera and 2) Provides context in the X, Y, and Z axises instead of just two like traditional mobile applications.

Why this works

Use AR to animate instructions right off the page for improved context

IKEA Assembly is a mobile application that uses augmented reality to place animated instructions into the user's environment.  The little details and context that get lost in a picture can be clarified by the user walking around, moving closer and away from the model, and iconography representing key tools and actions needed.

Lorem ipsum dolor

Another needless source of question marks over people’s heads is links and buttons that aren’t obviously clickable. As a user, I should never have to devote a millisecond of thought to whether things are clickable — or not.

Button Text

Sit amet elit

Your objective should always be to eliminate instructions entirely by making everything self-explanatory, or as close to it as possible. When instructions are absolutely necessary, cut them back to a bare minimum.
