Human-first, AI assisted 3D modeling
Abstract
Starting with a blank sheet, we slashed Hover's unit cost by 75% in the
first two years.
From-scratch CAD app built for speed. AI integrations like interactive photogrammetry for solving camera networks, CV surface texturing and ML-powered feature recognition.
We started with a core suite of parametric tools, channeling deep knowledge of our user's process.

OpenSpace

360° reality capture with mapped metadata
Abstract
OpenSpace worksites accumulate piles of geo-located content: field notes, change
requests, messaging. All of it inaccessible while doing a capture walk.
I designed a capture experience that surfaces this content at the right place and time.
A path trace keeps track of what's been covered in a capture session. We can alert to a photo request as the user approaches the right zone. Unresolved field notes can be updated along the way, instead of requiring a separate walk.

CV-guided reality capture
Abstract
As Hover expanded from pros to homeowners, new users frequently bounced during
their first capture. ARCapture creates a visual feedback loop between the user's camera & our
CV backend, ensuring beginner's luck for everyone.
We took advantage of LIDAR & on-device CV reconstruction to guide homeowners towards a good capture with no blind spots.

ARG Design System
Figma Library / React
ID
Comprehensive design system in Figma & React
Abstract
I piloted design systems at Hover with this Sketch (then Figma) library. My FE
partner built a comprehensive component library in React, published to an intranet
wiki.
Development velocity spiked on our team. Features were increasingly developed with no new presentation code, often with little design (gasp) input.
It wasn't long before Hover invested in a dedicated design systems team to replicate our results company-wide.

Design Studio

A white label configurator for residential architects and contractors
Abstract
I joined the Design Studio team to help visually refresh and expand a
mobile-only product to tablet & web.
I drew a suite of custom icons, updated 3D styling, and added a new navigation style to suit the larger format. We piloted dark mode at Hover with this MVP.

Core features include interactive photogrammetry for solving camera networks, CV surface texturing and ML-powered feature recognition. We started with a core suite of parametric tools, taking advantage of deep knowledge of our user's process in other modeling apps.
We used property data, local code, and CV to predict gutter locations and paths while a user draws. Automation only makes suggestions when they're likely to be helpful.

About
Bay area Senior Product Designer working on reality capture at OpenSpace.
Previously in R&D at Hover. Recently I've focused on 3D reconstruction, visualization, and AI
problems.
In my free time I build cars, then break them on rallies. Over the past year I designed a timber framed studio that could be erected by a single person. Unfortunately, that person was also me.
