While mobile phones have revolutionized our lives, constant notifications from social networks, email, texting and apps are increasing anxiety levels and distracting us from the world and people that surround us.

My Role

As the lead interaction designer on the project, I worked with the concepting team to define the system's navigation model. I then aligned the efforts of multiple design teams across North America and Asia as they worked on various aspects of the overall framework.
