My role

Collaborated with engineers to implement the UI under tight firmware restrictions, ensuring polish and functionality

Firmware UI design

Designing for embedded firmware UI has its challenges such as hardware constraints, limited screen real estate and reduced interactivity. To overcome these, we streamlined the process through rapid prototyping and rigorous in-situ testing, ensuring the experience remained clear, responsive and accessible.
