During my time at the Volkswagen Future Center, I had the chance to work on some of the most forward-thinking projects within the Volkswagen Group. The most memorable was Sedric, the group's first fully autonomous vehicle, where even as a UX intern I was trusted to design key experiences for the vehicle's interior.

My focus was the transparent display placed behind the seats, serving passengers in an autonomous taxi setting. With no driver and no traditional controls, the whole interaction paradigm shifted. We had the freedom to rethink what a vehicle interior could feel like, and we ran with it. From Karaoke to Meditation modes, the goal was to turn the cabin into a personalized space that passengers could genuinely enjoy, not just sit through.

Alongside the display work, I also designed the One Button, a minimal, intuitive way for passengers to summon the vehicle autonomously. The whole project was a lesson in what design looks like when the usual constraints disappear: how do you create something simple, engaging, and human in a space that's never existed before.
