I was selected as a Fellow with IDEO CoLab for 2020. In my first design sprint collaboration with CoLab, we sought to solve for the question:

“How might we help brands de-risk bold ethical actions by gauging support of their customers?”

Our cross-functional team, made up of a strategist, an architect, a UX designer, and a product designer created a prototype Augmented Reality (AR) experience called “Love Metric” that helps consumers in a retail setting make informed purchases based on a brands efforts in sustainability, diversity, and inclusion.

Leveraged on the growing trends of cocktail culture and gold in home decor, Brooklyn Craft is a collection of high-end barware I developed for the millennial market.  

Applying strategies from design thinking and lean startup, we are in the process of launching a website to test for demand before committing to a large purchase order.
