Xbox Elite Wireless Controller
I started working on this project before it was a project. While playing Killer Instinct I found it challenging to hit diagonal movements with the D-pad which led me to create a faceted cover that would allow these movements. My side project caught attention in the studio and the creative director noted there was a project coming up where it could use this type of thinking. The Elite Controller was formed.
I was an integral part of this project through design concept and human factors validation. It quickly became a high-profile project and attracted attention from the VP level and was quickly brought to market. Several patents were awarded through this controller which helped establish myself as a creator of IP by blending design with unique mechanical solutions.
