Kodak Slice Touchscreen Camera UI

The challenge: Create an intuitive and engaging way for users to relive up to 5000 pictures worth of memories on the back of a touchscreen digital camera.
The solution: Added granularity in the basic image review experience with a scalable thumbnail overlay and real-world modeled "flip book" navigation through pictures. Auto and manual filtering including date-based photo stacks in a time line style view. Fast and easy sorting by person with a quick double-tap to search by face.

Kodak Easyshare Touch Camera UI

The challenge: Lead an interdisciplinary team of interaction designers and human factors engineers to develop a touchscreen camera UI with competition-busting performance.
The solution: Completely redefined touch interactions and directed overhaul of specification documents. Gathered data from expert evaluators, consultants, and user testing to refine designs in iterative rounds with firmware developers. Final implemented touch experience was rated by users and evaluators as nearly double the performance quality of key industry competition.

The challenge: Translate a newly developed visual and interaction design strategy concept into a robust user-centered UI design for use across Kodak's digital camera portfolio.
The solution: A new UI implemented on over forty cameras across multiple portfolio years, on a variety of camera types (low-cost, high-feature, and "pro-sumer" models). Visual design made consistent and subdued to bring user content to the forefront. Key features given immediate access via shortcut bars and in-line menu editing. Controls simplified and confusing hardware button repurposing eliminated. Icons revised and supported with dynamic text messaging for clarity.

The challenge: Devise a touchscreen UI, following established visual design guidelines, for movie theater projectionists to use in loading, playing, and creating playlists of digital video content.
The solution: An uncluttered but feature rich UI that emphasizes ease of touch control and visibility in low light conditions.
