Say Hello to the New NEXT DESIGNER

As the Project Lead Freelance Designer, I was engaged by the Technical PM at Focus 360 to redesign their VR home staging web app, Next Designer. This virtual model home platform provides homebuyers with an immersive preview of their future homes while enabling homebuilders to accelerate sales.

Industry

Focus 360 is an award-winning virtual reality model home software company that is based in Southern California. Their specialty lies in architectural renderings and virtual tours of model houses. When it comes to crafting virtual spaces, they don’t just build homes—they build experiences.

What I Need to Achieve

01

Create a minimalistic and responsive interface for the web app that allows home buyers to explore massive design options and features without sacrificing the view of the model rooms.

02

The new UI is designed to use glassmorphism to achieve a more clear, and translucent interfaces with visual contrast, hierarchy and usability.

What I Need
to Conquer

01

Tasked with a B2B web app serving both residential and commercial needs, I tackled the challenge of crafting a scalable, systematic MVP UI.

02

With millions of users across commercial, hospitality, and residential markets, I developed robust design hand-off documentation to empower engineers in evolving the MVP.

Revenue Growth

Over Millions

Client estimated revenue and users for homebuyers and homebuilders will exceed millions after the new web app launch.

The design minimizes the interface while ensuring clear visual contrast and hierarchy, guiding homebuyers to easily create their ideal homes.

Responsive Design: Flow from Zero to One

User data showed that target users primarily use desktops and mobiles for model home design, so the deliverables included responsive designs for both platforms.

Custom Icon Sets

During prototyping, I identified the need for custom icons, starting with a few sketches that evolved into a complete icon set.

What I've Learned
Custom Icons

What started as a request for a couple of custom icons, like a stove and cabinet, quickly grew into a full design project after the client loved the initial work. Despite it being my first time creating custom icons, the competitor analysis I conducted inspired the aesthetics, and the project evolved far beyond expectations. With a focus on supporting the client’s vision and passion for owning their icon set, I delivered a complete set that went live—strengthening the client relationship and expanding my design skills in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
