Advanced UX - Explores next-generation vehicle experiences through conceptual visualization, rapid prototyping, and 3D modeling. This team pushes boundaries with bold ideation, digital rendering, and human-centered design to shape seamless interactions across hardware and software. Designers here blend creativity and technical know-how to envision future mobility experiences that are intuitive, inclusive, and aesthetically refined.
Services & Web Platform - Shapes the future of web and app experiences across GM and its marquee brands. This team ensures GM's digital ecosystem feels effortless, engaging, and safe, connecting drivers and passengers to their vehicles and services through thoughtful, human-centered design.
