Rightware Oy

Automotive industry

I was part of the core design team at Rightware Oy. In the team we designed automotive UI’s for production and for demos.
My strengths on the team were in 3D visualization and my knowledge of the automotive design side.

At Rightware, I were part of many automotive HMI projects, both concept and production projects (OEMs and Tier1s from all over the world). The projects contained UX, UI, 3D and 2D design, animations, and prototyping. Supporting marketing.

As a senior designer I were a lead on various projects and it was my responsibility to deliver tasks on time.

I created and designed a non-branded car for Rightware to use it in demos and concept projects. I designed and 3D modeled both exterior and interior.

The main tools used were Figma, Cinema 4D, Blender and After Effects.
