UI Design

It was important for me as the head of design to connect our customer’s needs with our developer’s capabilities during this entire project. Our customers in the entertainment, live sports, and news sectors of the media industry have used similar applications for years, but never had access to a cloud-based version that was this simple to use in real-time editing. We developed a sophisticated application that enables real-time editing of live streams on the cloud. This solution seamlessly integrates with other Amagi products, facilitating streaming from numerous input feeds.

 

The complexity of handling multiple input sources and processing large quantities of data and streaming channels daily posed significant challenges. Our dedicated design and front-end development team collaborated closely to create a solution that our customer’s could use immediately without significant onboarding times. We prioritized clean and efficient tools and optimized the use of space within the application to enhance usability.

My Role

As the head designer on the project I created and finalized all designs. I worked closely with developers, product managers, and other team members to ensure that the design vision was translated into a functional product. I headed regular meetings and feedback and brainstorming sessions with the project manager, helping us stay aligned and make informed decisions according to my user experience audits.

 

 

We worked closely with potential users and current clients of our CloudPort application to bring the best product to the table.  and observed their behavior closely both online and in person. This hands-on feedback allowed us to identify usability issues and make iterative improvements.

Along with designing the software, along with the marketing team, I prepared the award submissions for the NAB Show 2024 Product of the year, which Amagi Dynamic won!
