LEGO Batmobile

I designed the physical behaviors for LEGO’s app-controlled RC Batmobile, launched in August 2018.

  • Created unique play experiences for kids through the car’s behaviors
  • Learned a graphical programming app to prototype them
  • The prototype was showcased by the LEGO Super Heroes team at a US toy fair as part of pre-launch promotions

LEGO Education: exploration project for pre-schoolers

I joined the LEGO Education team for an open-ended exploration project on pre-school education.

  • Designed experiences that motivate children to experiment, collaborate, and create
  • Explored physical-experience design, color psychology, and the impact of the user interface
  • Co-facilitated a user test with 12 children at a pre-school, preparing materials, prototypes, and gathering insights
