π 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:
π Search
Improving and updating the content Search experience on Glass, and exploring how we could improve the functionality of the page iteratively.
β¨οΈ A system-wide keyboard
Researching, designing and building a much-needed modular keyboard to support projects across the UI, including Search and sign-ins.
β¨ More coming soon (currently NDA)
Alongside these case studies, Iβve spent time working on a raft of small and medium length BAU projects, which arenβt on this portfolio site β as well as things like running individual UX Research studies and Discoveries β some of which are ongoing.
