OpenSourceEmpathy is a multi-disciplinary design studio that spans media and praxes — built on one universal principle: that the best design starts by genuinely understanding the person it's for. Not as a user. As a human.
Featured Project
Visual Language for Tech/Beauty Product
This project was a collaboration with an in-house team to explore visual languages for a innovative Beauty and Tech product.
Work Categories
Concept Design
This is where ideas get to be ideas before the world has decided what they are yet. Projects span gestural AR interfaces, headphone paradigm research, Disney + Bose spatial audio experiences, musical taste visualization, and more.
Product Design
This is where things get real — shipped, used, and lived with by actual humans. If the Concept Design section is about asking "what if," this section is about answering "okay, but how."
Installation Design
This is design that takes up space — physical, emotional, and sometimes a whole Times Square billboard. The work in this section lives at the intersection of art, technology, and the people unlucky (or lucky) enough to walk into the room.
Game Design
Games are design with stakes. You have to earn the next screen. This section covers two distinct chapters of game design work, and they couldn't be more different in context — which makes them a pretty good argument for the breadth of what game design actually is.
Graphic Design
Graphic design is the foundation that everything else is built on: the discipline that teaches you that every choice is a choice, that negative space is doing work, and that typography has feelings.
Motion Design
Motion is where graphic design stops holding still and starts having opinions about time.
Workshop Design
This is where the room becomes the medium — structured enough to create safety, loose enough to let surprise in. These are the sessions where teams stop talking about the problem and start having one — productively, on purpose.
