Bell widget platform (Stage 2: nxGUI)

Role: Principal Designer
Work: Concept framework · Concept flows · Navigation models · Widget interaction design · Interaction design guidelines
Status: Future concepts

Core concept: Daily Dose

Handset makers were shipping their own widget engines, so Bell needed its services to appear consistently on devices it didn't control.

Find a balance of design, technology and Bell services that handset makers would accept and customers would adopt.

I developed the Surface, Core and Cloud concept framework and flows, explored core navigation models, and specified the widget interactions.
