Designing for a constrained environment
The project explored the experience of long-duration spaceflight: limited personal space, demanding routines, distance from Earth, and the need for connection.
Research across disciplines
The project included conversations with astronauts Victor Glover Jr. and Shannon Walker, contextual inquiry, and mapping of needs and pain points. The findings informed the relationship between the physical concepts and the interface.
One interface for three companions
The concept brought together Hearty for physical routines, Joy for mental-wellbeing activities, and Mix for immersive environments. I led the tablet-interface direction connecting the three, including modules for vitals, workouts, wellness, and environment controls.
A connected visual language
The Sano identity uses circle and eye motifs to connect the idea of wholeness with awareness. The interface and physical concepts were developed as parts of one proposed system.
