ŠKODA Cockpit UX
Crafting Cockpit UX for a car is nowhere as simple as designing a mobile app. While research, prototyping, user testing are a key of any digital product, automotive requires a heavy focus on user needs, ergonomics, driver distraction tests, legal requirements, and making everything as simple as possible.
My team and I, work on concepts and series production designs for HMI, infotainment and in-car apps.
This project is currently under NDA. Stay tuned.
ŠKODA UX Organization
Automotive companies realized that customers need exciting and consistent UX when checking out cars online, purchasing one at a dealership, driving it home, and setting it up via a mobile app. The gap between the physical and digital world is significant and it opened up an opportunity for a proper user-centered approach.
I joined VW Group to help with leading UX at ŠKODA Auto. In my team, we focus on UX strategy, processes, talent, and leadership in strategic products.
This project is currently under NDA. Stay tuned.
