The SKULLY AR-1 helmet was the world’s first augmented reality motorcycle helmet. Featuring a 180 degree rear view camera and a heads up display, it was a figher pilot helmet for motorcycle riders.
I hired and led the Design Team at SKULLY and personally did hands on design work for everything needed for a complete experience from: physical helmet parts, in helmet UI, mobile companion applications and websites to shipping boxes and marketing collateral.
I joined SKULLY as the VP of Design and expanded my role into VP of Product as we began planning multiple products and the larger SKULLY ecosystem.
