2015-2022
Head of Design, Resonai
       Worked on all products from early stages of definition, to final design and implementation. The products include Unity Visual Search, Dollhouse, and currently Vera, a computer vision platform to create intelligent digital twins of any physical space. Vera allows developers to create scalable augmented reality applications, that can later be consumed within those spaces.
        The work includes talking with clients, understanding their needs and translating them into AR experiences. Working closely with Unity developers to create the experiences, as well as web developers to create web tools for managing the digital twin. In addition, working on the developer tools definition and UX.
