Build A Brand Platform
For An Autonomous Truck Company
While I was mostly involved in the early stages of this project (mostly researching and brainstorming) I've learned a lot about the role of autonomous technology in our society from its ethical challenges to its cultural impacts.
“How do we plan a brand and a product experience with automation as friend, not as foe?”
Who, Why, What, Where, How?
We organized a workshop with the client to understand their vision, their values and how they wanted their technology to be perceived. We immersed ourselves into researching about competitors, design language, archetypes and the and culture of truck driving in US.
