Design empathetic creation tools to respect diverse identities, avoid limiting categories.
Develop new metaphors for browsing content.
Drawing inspiration from real-world dressing metaphors, we explored different ways to expand and collapse options in a 2.5D interface, that could be navigated with both 6Dof pointing and 3Dof touch cursors.
Collaborating with SW, we created an avatar “mirror” to anchor the editor and to promote a sense of body ownership. I led concept development and user testing to refine this approach. Users preferred this “fake” mirror for its 3D interest over a “true” yet flatter mirror.
3D horizontal Z-carousels reference existing user mental models, yet need abstraction to support many options. The team had to invent all new nesting strategies in 3D.
We designed the first color picker in the OS for Outfit. Using 3D cylindrical relationships in the HSV color model, users can select hue around a circular plane, saturation along its radii and brightness along its vertical axis.

I helped conduct user testing to identify areas to improve. We learned:
1. Users preferred more direct funneling into preset looks, fewer decision points overall.
2. Through card sorting, users preferred slightly different category groupings.
3. Users expected a more clear call to save, as well as redo.
From this feedback, we landed users directly into the preset Looks, updated the category groupings, and updated the toolbar options.
Outfit your avatar.
Open Outfit to create your avatar.
Our team named this app and established its visual identity.
