Evolving a product that was originally a single user experience, to persistent ecosystems with impressive capabilities to support over 100 users in a single space. Initially I was the only UIUX designer, tasked with building and defining a visual language for Gatherings, while delivering feature design requests that would remain cohesive and consistent as new features are delivered. As the product grew, I expanded the team, bringing in creative thinkers who thrived on problem solving. At it’s peak I was leading a multidisciplinary team of six people, facilitating product brainstorms to ensure that we were creatively aligned. It was important for me to open up communication lines across other departments, empowering my team to frequently communicate with the data, platform and product teams.Reaching a point of stability and consistency, I shifted my focus towards creating a scalable and sustainable design system to reduce discrepancies in the final implementation of designs. Further highlighting the importance of design across the product. I developed a creative design process that engaged my team and empowered them with ownership, while maintaining a high delivery rate of iterative designs. <img width="1500" height="1080" width_o="1500" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2a25a62368b062c4349aa9dd524385d4372c708e6627000045928c2eaa8cf0ca/5-1.png" data-mid="173930592" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2a25a62368b062c4349aa9dd524385d4372c708e6627000045928c2eaa8cf0ca/5-1.png" /> <img width="2366" height="1628" width_o="2366" height_o="1628" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/114df4bdd1b5cd6ed6064f31bf5c3d8491e33643b1316972e56f43e17538b98a/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.44.18.png" data-mid="173930597" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/114df4bdd1b5cd6ed6064f31bf5c3d8491e33643b1316972e56f43e17538b98a/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.44.18.png" /> <img width="1620" height="1116" width_o="1620" height_o="1116" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d49fedba2b138780912127705682f090c6531481cc321293cbd9b3f167cbdcd/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.44.06.png" data-mid="173930595" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2d49fedba2b138780912127705682f090c6531481cc321293cbd9b3f167cbdcd/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.44.06.png" /> <img width="3064" height="1862" width_o="3064" height_o="1862" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9415034627c87b3d67b11d96c9881bd47f5bcf6ed87e2d4062c3d622675f06fa/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.51.23.png" data-mid="173930607" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9415034627c87b3d67b11d96c9881bd47f5bcf6ed87e2d4062c3d622675f06fa/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.51.23.png" /> <img width="2364" height="2096" width_o="2364" height_o="2096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/12a18e12cee74a592f5f34b65ebe58c2ab9aab8051682c0a57f477cd44f573a3/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.48.00.png" data-mid="173930603" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/12a18e12cee74a592f5f34b65ebe58c2ab9aab8051682c0a57f477cd44f573a3/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.48.00.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/65f9123a8a7ddbc31160f5c067181f8b660811afa46e8e30ab7c31b85aed6a61/PrivateConversation.png" data-mid="173930614" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/65f9123a8a7ddbc31160f5c067181f8b660811afa46e8e30ab7c31b85aed6a61/PrivateConversation.png" /> <img width="2400" height="1800" width_o="2400" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38cec5186c9606d0a162e5a5f3f55447a6d70913278e418470def03ddb4b884a/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.46.05.png" data-mid="173930600" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38cec5186c9606d0a162e5a5f3f55447a6d70913278e418470def03ddb4b884a/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.46.05.png" /> <img width="1814" height="1910" width_o="1814" height_o="1910" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b34bc61b3b0ac3c5e086e07c1a75a8d4c67085bb61c984960d8a7cb5042c884b/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.49.05.png" data-mid="173930604" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b34bc61b3b0ac3c5e086e07c1a75a8d4c67085bb61c984960d8a7cb5042c884b/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.49.05.png" /> <img width="2574" height="1860" width_o="2574" height_o="1860" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f66c579c38a764cabc6610ca55d496175548cda96a8c963f3e2b6d074867707d/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.46.39.png" data-mid="173930601" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f66c579c38a764cabc6610ca55d496175548cda96a8c963f3e2b6d074867707d/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.46.39.png" /> <img width="2016" height="2016" width_o="2016" height_o="2016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ddc6f29b4d102a69d8fad28546b0cf391bb18e6609769a09d5d4ddf78e3ade46/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.53.59.png" data-mid="173930608" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ddc6f29b4d102a69d8fad28546b0cf391bb18e6609769a09d5d4ddf78e3ade46/Screenshot-2023-04-01-at-21.53.59.png" /> <img width="1253" height="1247" width_o="1253" height_o="1247" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/196d952b34d16891632a4ba0407122b6610837eb70f73ccb39d6a89317b614b4/Screenshot-2021-07-13-at-20.50.39.png" data-mid="173930610" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/196d952b34d16891632a4ba0407122b6610837eb70f73ccb39d6a89317b614b4/Screenshot-2021-07-13-at-20.50.39.png" /> <img width="1250" height="1096" width_o="1250" height_o="1096" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f026b35738224cf7c3ca5b46e5ae95e5658c2a1f5ba6e01b156383dea29a7fde/Compnent-Breakdown.png" data-mid="173930611" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f026b35738224cf7c3ca5b46e5ae95e5658c2a1f5ba6e01b156383dea29a7fde/Compnent-Breakdown.png" /> https://adamtotney.com/Bee-Garden Fri, 31 Mar 2023 16:15:23 +0000 Adam Totney - Portfolio https://adamtotney.com/Bee-Garden [02] Bee Garden Interaction DesignUser OnboardingEngaging Gameplay Designed for global conferences, it was vital that the experience was short and simple, utilising the spatial strengths of virtual reality. Due to the limited play space of the virtual reality booth, it was important to ensure the intractable elements remained within a players reach, encouraging them to stay within the bounds. Interacting with the world was simple, only requiring a single button input to grab objects that were close enough to the controllers. Either the trigger or the grip (in some cases, both) could be squeezed to complete a grab, this helped reduce the task of onboarding new users who may be unfamiliar with virtual reality controllers. The core loop of the game was inspired by plate spinning, allowing users who may not initially be confident to take their time. The difficulty of the game naturally scaled with a users proficiency, as they planted more seeds, it became more difficult to ensure all plants were staying hydrated. Lastly, by adding a simple levelling system to each plant, an additional layer of strategy could be added for players who felt compelled to have multiple playthroughs to maximise their final score.
