Dyson Connected Retail Experience
To support Dyson’s expansion into physical retail, I led the development of a connected in-store experience that bridges physical product interaction with digital education. We created an intuitive touchscreen application and a large-scale LED content strategy that transforms the store into both a showcase and a learning environment. The result is a seamless, product-first experience where customers can explore and understand complex engineering through guided digital interaction.

Digital Product Experience: Touchscreen UX & UI
At the core of the experience is a series of interactive tablets integrated into merchandise fixtures. Customers can physically interact with Dyson products, then seamlessly transition to the touchscreen to explore deeper product features and information. This creates a continuous loop between touching, learning and deciding, turning the fixture into a self-service sales tool.
