NavAbility
Robotics Startup - Design System
Design for Funding
NavAbility is an early-stage startup revolutionizing the robotics industry. Their proprietary, open-sourced code has created the foundation of the robotics software engineering community. A juicy contradiction with massive value for research and development.
To secure funding, the team at NavAbility needed a coherent story and foundational design system to attract investors. Over the course of a few weeks I interviewed each of the founders, derived the brand, built the initial design system, and educated the team on it's philosophy, purpose, and proper use.
