This project was a proof of concept that explored the potential for a DNA Sequencer to be controlled by an iPad app. The iPad app was designed to offer real-time status updates for a fleet of DNA sequencers, the ability to initiate and halt sequencing runs, as well as display the machine's operational status.

My responsibilities included conducting user research, crafting workflow diagrams, and creating mockups and interactive prototypes. After the research and discovery phase, I illustrated high-fidelity mockups and motion design prototypes.

My contributions to this proof of concept eventually led to my recognition as a listed inventor for a Design Patent (USD810112S1).
