A global cloud services provider needed a better way to connect its Canada-based UX team with international stakeholders. Presentations, prototypes, and UI felt fragmented, making communication harder and the value of new AI features less clear.

More than visual polish, the system delivered a bilingual, cloud-based foundation that unified design, research, and development workflows. From icon sets and mockups to profile visuals, tags, and scalable grids, each asset was crafted to maintain brand consistency while supporting faster, cross-cultural collaboration across prototypes, reports, and stakeholder decks.

Each phase of the process played a critical role in shaping AI-powered solutions with empathy and clarity. Grounded in real user behaviorsโ€”what people say, think, do, and feelโ€”the framework ensured that every product decision reflected authentic needs and emotional drivers. From early research to validation, this approach helped turn abstract functionality into experiences users could understand, trust, and act on with confidence.

At the core of the process, continuous loops of Build, Measure, and Learn ensured that every iteration strengthened user trust and boosted productivity. By treating product design as a dynamic centerpointโ€”surrounded by feedback, insight, and refinementโ€”solutions became more intuitive, consistent, and emotionally aligned. This mindset supported the creation of seamless experiences across the brand ecosystem, where interactions felt familiar, purposeful, and connected from end to end.

AI played a supporting role across the creative pipeline by generating scripts, visual prompts, character development, and image references that shaped both storytelling and stakeholders buy-in. From prototyping multilingual animations to developing emotionally aware micro-interactions, the tools helped to merge user data inputs to a scalable production flow.

Developing a Human-AI Interaction (HAI) guideline and a unified bilingual toolkit โ€“ including webpage and PPT templates, workshop materials, and PDF instructions โ€“ has been fundamental in identifying AI products based on real user needs. The HAI guideline focuses on creating intuitive, understandable, and trustworthy AI experiences, a central principle of this work.


This multilingual toolkit empowers global teams, particularly product management and leadership, to clearly identify and address AI's value, ensuring its development leads to more effective and human-centered AI applications.

Bridging the gap between UX goals and stakeholder buy-in

A vision video brings abstract ideas to lifeโ€”helping teams and stakeholders align around a shared goal. Itโ€™s a storytelling tool that simplifies complex concepts, highlights user impact, and builds excitement for whatโ€™s next. More than a pitch, itโ€™s a narrative that inspires action and clarity.

Shaping behaviors, decisions & outcomes

Shaping behaviors, decisions & outcomes

Motion design helps build clear interaction patterns by reinforcing feedback, guiding attention, and informing users of changes. Micro animationsโ€”like slide boxes, notifications, or reactive transitionsโ€”establish visual consistency across the product, making the experience feel more intuitive, responsive, and trustworthy.
