Airbnb, Capital Group,  Frame Fitness

Context
In the 10-week internship at IA Collaborative, I was very lucky to contribute in-depth to client projects including Airbnb, Capital Group, and Frame Fitness. My role combined product strategy and experience design. I mainly helped Frame Fitness launch its smart pilates reformer by activating insights from business strategy, user research and branding in the display screen and web experience design.

The project details are available on request. Check out the Frame Fitness website and reach out to me to learn about the work I produced.









Frame Pilates Reformer

The soon-to-launch Frame Pilates Reformer is the first at-home, digitally connected pilates reformer. Its revolutionary design transforms traditional reformer pilates into a smarter, simpler, and more affordable experience. IA Collaborative designed the branding and digital experience for the pilates reformer.
