πŸŽ‰ Helping launch Sky Glass

I was part of the team of designers working on the software experience for Sky Glass, a streaming TV launched in the UK in 2021.

Some Glass case studies include:

πŸ”Ž Search
Improving and updating the content Search experience on Glass, and exploring how we could improve the functionality of the page iteratively.

⌨️ A system-wide keyboard
Researching, designing and building a much-needed modular keyboard to support projects across the UI, including Search and sign-ins.

✨ More coming soon (currently NDA)

Alongside these case studies, I’ve spent time working on a raft of small and medium length BAU projects, which aren’t on this portfolio site – as well as things like running individual UX Research studies and Discoveries – some of which are ongoing.
