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.

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.
