IMMERSIVE EXECUTIVE SITE VISIT
UPS
Project Summary
To support UPS’s North America Client & Market Development strategy, IBM conceptualized and delivered a fully branded executive site visit for UPS and EY leaders, codenamed Project Camaro, hosted at IBM’s delivery center in Bangalore, India. The experience transformed two floors into a walkable story that built delivery confidence and secured new capability buy-in.
My Role
Experience Design Lead (Senior) — primary creative lead with creative authority across experience strategy, environmental design, storytelling, and on-site execution.
Client / Team Context
IBM-led executive experience for UPS and EY stakeholders; planned in one week with a 48-hour on-site build-out window ahead of a one-day, 8-hour hosted visit.
-
Challenge 1: Compressed scope approval due to a public holiday and restricted facility clearance timelines.
Solution: Fast-tracked approvals and hand-delivered scope lists prior to deadline, maintaining real-time coordination across design, logistics, and on-site teams to keep the build on track.Challenge 2: Limited on-site time meant the experience needed to communicate the narrative even without a guided tour.
Solution: Designed a self-guided visual journey using storyboards, kiosks, signage, and zone-based storytelling so the message carried independently at every stop.Challenge 3: Back-to-back site visit constraints required materials to be reusable and reconfigurable.
Solution: Created a modular system of assets that could be swapped, repurposed, and reset efficiently—reducing cost and enabling rapid turnaround for the next engagement. -
