Collaborated with the team at Treemouse, on a pivotal project commissioned by Meta. Our mission was to create an in-depth research report on the XR (Extended Reality) landscape of India. My contribution involved shaping the final deliverables. Working closely with the Treemouse research team and engaging with Meta stakeholders, I was tasked with crafting a scalable visual identity for the report that not only represented the essence of the research but also adhered to Meta's brand standards.

Key Responsibilities and Achievements:

- Developing a cohesive visual identity 🎨 for the research report. Conceptualised and designed a set of guidelines that encompassed the report's layout, colour palette, typography, and overall aesthetic, ensuring it resonated with the subject matter and the Meta brand.

- Making Data Shine ✨ : The heart of the project was taking complex research findings and turning them into visual wonders, creating impactful data visualisations and ensuring that the report effectively conveyed critical insights about the XR landscape of India.

- Collaborative Engagement 🤝 with Treemouse research + design team & Meta stakeholders to ensure that the design complements the research content and aligns the visual identity with Meta's specific requirements and preferences.

The report was launched 🚀 on 6th December 2023, with a launch event held at Meta, Gurgaon(IN). I was invited to the event, followed by a lot of panel discussions on the XR tech for India and the ecosystem, which also provided me with an opportunity to meet and network with a lot of industry experts 😌
