Client Background
GMC’s 2022 Hummer EV represents the next generation of all-electric off-road performance, combining cutting-edge technology with rugged capability. To match the vehicle’s innovation, GMC required a highly intuitive and visually striking user interface (UI) that seamlessly integrated drive modes, vehicle dynamics, and digital instrumentation. The goal was to create a UI experience that felt as powerful and futuristic as the Hummer EV itself while ensuring ease of use for drivers navigating both urban and extreme off-road environments.

Challenge
The primary challenge was designing a cohesive and dynamic UI that balanced high-tech aesthetics with functional clarity. The interface needed to deliver real-time vehicle feedback, customizable drive modes, and immersive visual elements without overwhelming the driver. Additionally, the UI had to align with GMC’s bold and rugged brand identity, ensuring that it felt intuitive for both casual drivers and off-road enthusiasts.

Solution
By leveraging UX strategy, motion design, and automotive HMI expertise, I developed a next-generation interface that enhances both functionality and driving experience. Key features include:

• Customizable drive modes, allowing users to seamlessly adapt the vehicle to different terrains.
• Dynamic motion graphics that provide real-time feedback on vehicle performance.
• A futuristic, high-contrast UI that ensures legibility in all lighting conditions.
• Intuitive controls and animations that make complex vehicle data easy to understand at a glance.

Results
The Hummer EV User Interface exemplifies how intelligent UX and motion design can enhance driver engagement, streamline interactions, and reinforce brand identity. Automakers integrating next-generation UI/UX solutions see higher user satisfaction, improved usability, and a seamless blend of technology and driving experience, positioning their vehicles as leaders in innovation.
