Virtual Meeting Space Design
UX/UI & GRAPHIC DESIGN (2019-2023)
Role: Design Manager, Designer
​
Sococo is a virtual office platform that enables distributed teams to work together side-by-side, no matter where they're located. As the Design Manager and a contributing Designer, I led the design and delivery of over 200 virtual office maps—ranging from standardized layouts to fully custom environments for high-profile clients.
​
Project Scope & Deliverables
​
I directed and participated in the end-to-end design of interactive virtual spaces, including:
-
Public Map Library – Designed a wide range of ready-to-use virtual office layouts accessible to all Sococo users.
-
Custom Branded Maps – Developed tailored environments for enterprise clients, often reflecting their real-world office layouts and branding.
-
Functional Map Assets – Created room layouts and spatial arrangements that supported real-time collaboration: offices, meeting rooms, lounges, co-working spaces, and more.
​
​
Design Process & Tools
​
Each map design followed a detailed waterfall process:
-
Research & Brainstorming – Defined requirements based on user behavior, space utility, and client feedback.
-
Collaborative Design Sessions – Held regular design meetings to develop and refine concepts.
-
Visual Design – Created initial and final artwork, balancing aesthetics with usability.
-
Production Integration – Translated final art into functional assets coded for use in the Sococo application.
-
QA & Release – Ensured quality standards before handoff to engineering for deployment.
​
Design tools included Adobe Illustrator for map illustration, internal prototyping tools, and proprietary coding frameworks to embed maps into the Sococo platform.
​
Key Achievements
​
-
Scale & Efficiency: Led the successful production of over 200 maps with design cycles ranging from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on complexity.
-
High-Impact Customization: Delivered fully branded, bespoke environments that met the unique needs of enterprise clients.
-
Integrated Team Workflow: Managed cross-functional collaboration between design, QA, and engineering for seamless implementation and release.
​
This project highlights my ability to lead design at scale while maintaining creative quality, technical accuracy, and user-centered thinking. The final map designs served as the visual and functional core of a virtual workplace used daily by thousands of remote team members.
