3D MAP DESIGN

As Designer Director for Austrian startup blackshark.ai I rebranded the company to align our presence with the company's unique patented AI-technology approach to producing a semantic digital twin of the entire planet, based on satellite imagery and other geospatial data, using its end-to-end ML/AI-driven geospatial platform, Now focusing on improving UI/UX of the company's various tools, and evolving our design organization to meet the enterprise-level needs of our current and future customers.

As Principal Designer  and Sr. Design Manager for HERE Technologies' next-generation high-definition 3D maps, initially I designed of the UI for the company's internal 3D map data editing tool. Designed visual concepts for 3D map product features, developing interactive UX prototypes -- to explore, engage, inform, and inspire -- while building and directing a production team of 40 to build initial 3D map product samples and define efficient workflows and processes for scaled production in India. 

​

All of these 3D map initiatives feel like a synthesis of all the other 3D work in my career - CGI, games, rendering - only now helping build the whole world in 3D. Fun to merge it all together, getting ready for a time when maps are no longer just navigation aids, evolving into a dynamic 3D canvas we'll paint with the information, activities and location data of our lives.
