For 5 global brands and a vehicle portfolio of 40+ models utilizing nearly 30 displays; brand differentiation was not only part of the ask it was paramount in GMs digital approach and user experience. GMC is a premium luxury brand with a capable edge that needs to properly be distinguished from the pack. Uniquely American with a vast majority of sales targeting the Denali trim with a majority proportion of those customers clamoring for even more higher end content.

I collaborated with engineering and design on the size and proportion of these displays. After leading the vision for the branded differentiation I led the design direction for these display themes as well as reviews and critiques for the UX team working on these displays. I was then responsible for taking this work to cross discipline teams and partners to present, review, showcase and often times sell and get approval for our studio direction and vision for the brand and vehicles.

I ensured the graphics were properly implemented into the design system. I led, reviewed and critiqued the typography and iconography development. I ensured ISO standards were met, safety and regulatory best practices as well as GM best practices. I also reviewed and critiqued the 3D development of assets in the interface particularly vehicle imagery and realtime assets. I also worked with software on almost a daily basis ensuring gaps were closed, issues were resolved and that our teams were working as closely as possible.
