Coach, Consultant, Designer #AR #VR | Former Sr Director of UX @MagicLeap @AKQA | Former Senior Adjunct Professor @CCA
Alysha Naples has spent a lot of time in the future, simultaneously pushing the frontiers of design within emerging tech while forging the path to adoption within industry and education. Her core philosophy is that products are a reflection of the cultures in which they were created, and that transformative products require an investment in building and nurturing authentic and diverse work cultures.

Most recently, Alysha served as Magic Leap’s Senior Director of User Experience and Interaction. In this role, she helped define new interaction modalities for the next generation of interfaces (VR and AR). She believes that the upcoming paradigm shift away from screen-based interactions will provide an opportunity to reassess the role of computing in our lives.

Alysha works to propagate the idea that we must design experiences for individual people to help them achieve their dreams — in whichever reality they choose.
