CTV Go Mobile App

ENTERTAINMENT / IOS / ANDROID

Developing the CTV app was an exciting challenge to consolidate Canada's top network and channels into a user-friendly digital platform. My aim was to simplify access to a mix of live and on-demand content, enriching the user experience with seamless navigation and personalized features. Through collaboration and user-centric design thinking, we launched an app that stands at the forefront of entertainment, continuously evolving to keep offering the best on-the-go entertainment experience.

Rift Insurance Mobile App

INSURANCE / IOS / ANDROID

I spearheaded the design phase of this innovative project, with the goal of simplifying short-term insurance. To overcome the typical hurdles users face when adjusting their insurance coverage, we rolled out several user-centric innovations: an intuitive item search feature, fast bar code scanning, and Rosie—a chatbot designed for seamless conversational assistance. These features cater to the growing demand for efficient, chat-based interactions, establishing Rift as a frontrunner in making insurance management more accessible and user-friendly. By redefining industry standards, we’re enhancing the overall user experience, setting a new benchmark for what's possible in insurance tech.

Apple Music TV Experience

MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT / TV OS

I spearheaded an effort to revolutionize the TV music app interface, transforming it into a streamlined, intuitive, and visually stunning experience. I redefined user interaction with their favorite tunes, focusing on a fluid user experience enhanced by full-screen visuals. The integration of delightfully animated graphics further enriched this experience, creating a truly unique music journey. My dedication to reimagining how music could be enjoyed through a TV interface led to a product that not only sets a new benchmark for design and usability but also elevates the overall enjoyment of music in the digital age.

TV through Google Home and Alexa

VOICE / TV

I envisioned and pioneered the integration of voice assistant functionality with a revolutionary TV interface, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in digital interaction. My strategic vision aimed to merge the convenience of voice commands with the immersive experience of a cutting-edge TV interface. Leading a team of innovative UX designers, we embarked on a journey to transform how users engage with technology, creating a seamless, intuitive interaction model that leverages the best of voice recognition and visual design. This initiative not only set new standards for user interfaces but also opened up fresh avenues for interactive entertainment and smart home integration, charting a new course for the future of digital media consumption.
