Material Composer

metals in context

As an R&D resident at Zahner, I lead the design of a visualization tool: Material Composer. The company collaborates with a diverse group of architects, engineers, and designers to select design metal facades for large scale builds. To facilitate conversations with new clients, we developed a tool that allows for our metals to be visualized at a variety of scales.

Team: James Coleman, Nathan Barnes, Chris Ference

Type: UX Design

Year: 2021

Working at Zahner was my first time on a team with individuals outside of the profession of industrial design. Being exposed to the innerworkings of architecture projects expanded my horizons of what I can design.
