Challenge
Designing for a dual platform experience for Android and Samsung Gear S2 meant balancing simplicity and performance while maintaining consistent engagement. The challenge was to make the experience compelling and functional even on a tiny wearable screen.
My Role
I led the end to end design of the Android and Gear S2 apps, working across visual design, flows, wireframes, and prototypes. Each version was tailored to its platform, with UI and interactions crafted specifically for the available space and use case whether browsing events on a phone or checking points on a wrist.
A Dynamic Loyalty App for Mobile and Wearable Fans
The design emphasizes fast access to key features, with smooth navigation and responsive feedback optimized for both mobile and wearable devices. By balancing rich interactions on Android with glanceable, efficient flows on the Gear S2, the app delivers a cohesive, user friendly experience that encourages fan participation, strengthens loyalty, and fosters community engagement. Special attention was given to usability and visual clarity across both platforms.
The app offers Ole Miss students and alumni a fun, engaging way to earn points and claim rewards for supporting their team. I focused on clear, accessible interfaces tailored to each device’s unique screen and interaction style. Whether checking points on the wrist or browsing upcoming events on the phone, the experience was crafted to be seamless and motivating. My work included designing UI, flows, wireframes, and prototypes to ensure a consistent user journey.
Designing for Engagement and Seamless Interaction
The app’s design supports a dynamic points system that detects fan presence through geofencing, ticket scanning, and beacon technology, ensuring smooth and reliable recognition at events.
I focused on creating intuitive interfaces that make it easy for users to track their points, explore rewards, and engage with leaderboards. The design balances visual clarity and motivation, encouraging participation through clear feedback and seamless navigation across devices.
This approach ensures fans feel connected and empowered, enhancing their overall experience and fostering ongoing loyalty to the team.
