Three Years, Four Industries — Design at GlobalLogic
From AR/MR on Microsoft HoloLens 2 in healthcare, to UX systems for private finance and banking, e-learning interfaces, and communication platforms — a chapter defined by context-switching, technical ambiguity, and learning to design for domains I had to master from scratch.

Context
Designing across industries with no playbook
GlobalLogic is a product engineering company that embeds design teams into client engagements across industries. Over three years, I worked on four distinct products — each in a domain I had to learn from scratch, with different tech stacks, stakeholder structures, and user profiles.
Each project demanded fast context-switching: from understanding operating room workflows and spatial computing constraints, to navigating private market finance terminology, e-learning content hierarchies, and banking communication infrastructure. The common thread was designing for complexity under ambiguity.
Four industries across three years at GlobalLogic
The core challenge: No two projects shared a design system, a platform, or a user type. The skill wasn't domain expertise — it was building enough domain literacy, fast enough, to make design decisions that engineers and stakeholders trusted.
Featured Project — Healthcare
Stryker — Mixed Reality Operating Room Design
The most technically ambitious of the four: a Microsoft HoloLens 2 application that lets hospital procurement teams and surgeons design, configure, and validate operating room layouts in mixed reality — at real scale, before any construction begins.
The product had to work hands-free in a sterile environment, support multi-user collaborative sessions, and surface deep equipment configuration data in a spatial interface where traditional UI patterns simply don't apply.
Labels panel — toggle measurement, wall, door, window and custom labels in the 3D floor plan
Join Session — Edit Mode vs Viewer Mode for collaborative OR planning
SLX Triple — equipment configuration with real-time arm length, type and head sliders
Spatial label system
Toggleable measurement, wall, door, window, and custom labels overlaid on the 3D floor plan. Each label type color-coded for instant spatial orientation.
Collaborative sessions
Multi-user sessions with distinct Edit Mode and Viewer Mode roles — letting surgeons, procurement teams, and architects review the same room simultaneously from their own vantage points.
Equipment configurator
Real-time configuration of Stryker surgical equipment (arms, lengths, head types) via spatial sliders — changes reflected instantly in the 3D room model.
Voice search
Hands-free voice input for searching equipment in the catalog — critical in a sterile environment where controllers can't always be used. Real-time waveform feedback with predictive suggestions.

Scales — switch between Tabletop, Quarter Scale and True Scale with a life-size surgeon avatar for spatial reference
Articulate — 3D rotation gizmo for physically positioning surgical lamp arms in space
AR room layout — placing and positioning equipment in mixed reality
Equipment articulation — rotating surgical arms with hand-tracking gestures
Design constraint: Every interaction had to work with HoloLens 2 hand-tracking and air-tap gestures — no keyboard, no mouse. Designing for spatial UI meant rethinking affordances, hit targets, panel positioning, and feedback from first principles.
Other GlobalLogic Projects
Three more industries, same approach
The Stryker engagement was the most visible, but it ran alongside three other client projects — each requiring its own domain ramp-up and design approach.
2020 – 2021
Finance · Web · Desktop
Private Market Finance Platform
UX systems for a private market investment platform targeting institutional clients. Designed data-dense dashboards for portfolio tracking, fund performance, and transaction history — balancing information depth with navigational clarity for non-technical financial users. Key challenge: making complex financial data legible without oversimplifying.
2020
E-Learning · VR
VR E-Learning Interface
Spatial UI and content hierarchy design for a VR-based corporate training platform. Focused on reducing cognitive load in immersive learning environments — structuring lesson flows, progress tracking, and interactive exercises for users unfamiliar with VR interaction paradigms. Worked closely with instructional designers and Unity developers to define interaction models.
2019 – 2020
Banking · Communications
Banking Communications Platform
UX design for an internal communications and case management tool for a European banking client. Designed notification systems, inbox hierarchies, and escalation workflows for compliance and operations teams — where clarity, audit trails, and role-based access were non-negotiable. Navigated strict security and regulatory constraints throughout the design process.
