FEATURE #1

Turn your signs into clear text and spoken words - so everyone understands you

See live captions when someone else signs

Speech-to-text enables spoken words to appear as instant captions

Translate across 40+ languages during any task flow

In a world where simple conversations can be a daily challenge for some, mixed-reality gave us a window of opportunity. Breaking into both virtual and physical spaces, we began bridging worlds to give everyone a voice.

Problem Statement

How might we empower individuals hard of hearing in order to be independent in their daily interactions?

1 . Users

Existing apps were slow and frustrating, leaving users feeling invisible and dependent.

As Project Manager: Defined project scope by prioritizing essential features and ran cross-functional sprints uniting engineering, design, and business to align priorities, assess feasibility early, and balance technical, usability, and business considerations.

2. Action

Designed 60+ spatial wireframes as UX Design Lead, mapping user flows, enabling quick team feedback, and oversaw the project website to showcase our work

3. Result

I led an accessibility-focused redesign through immersive user research and iterative development of 80+ wireframes. By implementing AR/VR design principles, we transformed complex features into an intuitive interface featuring optimized navigation, multi-sensory feedback, and multilingual support. The result: a streamlined, inclusive experience that breaks barriers for users with hearing impairments levergaing the new technology
