NEXT GEN SPECTACLES

In 2021, Snap released the first Spectacles with displays that could show AR in real-time. I was the lead product designer from the conceptual phase in 2018 to the launch in 2021.

During the early concept stages, I explored a wide range of product directions to guide critical hardware decisions and software features. I pitched these to the CEO and fine-tuned the final vision: 

"A Canvas For 3D Creators"

I was the champion for these users throughout the hardware design process, defining a Product that empowered them while keeping a Glasses form factor.
I prioritized software features that were crucial to retain creators and drive the flywheel of building groundbreaking AR experiences.
