Working closely with an experienced development team, we designed innovative ground-control solutions for satellite operation.  I explored concept art & design directions creating a highly refined visual design language modeled after futuristic, cinematic movie concepts.  I created rapid prototypes and animated visuals with detailed style-guides for an accurate hand-off to development.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EARLY DESIGN CONCEPTS

Take a look at a few different initial directions.  Elements and styles were eventually combined, and mix-n-matched to achieve the final design language.
