Reach Across the Stars: Augmented Reality App

In the app’s journeys, a scientist takes users into her work environment, recalling her favorite career moments as well as challenges. Feature stories combine audio interviews, video, 3D environments and 360-degree virtual reality content to let viewers peek into the worlds of these scientific heroes.

My role within the project included overall look and feel of the app, UX/UI design, branding, profile writing and illustration of each highlighted scientist. I illustrated, designed and wrote copy for accompanying print posters to be distributed. I also designed and continue to build out designs for the website.

The project received support from the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative, Because of Her Story. Support also comes from the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
