Virtual Meeting Space Design
UX/UI DESIGN (2021-2023)

Role: Design Manager, Designer

 

Confidential Pilot Projects – Virtual Collaboration Solutions

Over the course of nearly two years, I led design efforts for a series of confidential pilot projects for a global communications corporation. These initiatives focused on reimagining virtual collaboration through user-centered design, blending workspace visualization, intuitive UI, and team engagement tools within a digital environment.

Project Scope & Deliverables

Specific visual assets and detailed client information cannot be shared. However, my role included the following key contributions:

  • Virtual Workspace Design – Designed and updated custom Sococo maps tailored to each customer’s unique organizational structure and team needs.

  • UX/UI Design – Developed user interface solutions for new features aimed at improving virtual presence, meeting experiences, and team dynamics.

  • Quality Assurance – Conducted QA testing to ensure feature functionality aligned with user expectations and design specifications.

  • Documentation & Use Cases – Authored detailed documentation outlining application behavior and user journeys to support cross-functional development and future iteration.

Design Process & Tools

Each pilot followed an iterative and collaborative process:

  1. Discovery & Planning – Partnered with product managers and stakeholders to define goals for team engagement, communication, and usability.

  2. Concept Development – Sketched and prototyped ideas around space utility, interface components, and team interaction flows.

  3. Design & Implementation – Used tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Canva, and internal prototyping platforms to build out experiences.

  4. QA & Feedback Loop – Participated in cross-functional QA and refinement to ensure polished, user-aligned output.

 

Key Achievements

  • User-Centered Innovation: Designed environments and features to foster belonging, visibility, and collaboration in remote work settings.

  • Cross-Functional Impact: Contributed to product development, QA, and documentation—bridging design, engineering, and business goals.

  • Enterprise Scalability: Delivered solutions capable of scaling across large, distributed teams in high-profile global environments.

This work reflects my ability to lead within complex, confidential, and enterprise-scale design contexts—balancing creativity, technical constraints, and user empathy.
