A seamless experience between appliances.

A suite of touch screen appliances that drew on user research, usability testing and a highly collaborative client.

Everyone uses appliances, and each appliance works differently, leading to fragmented experiences. The project leveraged information architecture, interaction design, and user interface design across a suite of appliances, providing a seamless and predictable user experience. The user interfaces provided organization, configuration, and operation supported by user research.
