Context & Role
The FireTV App has evolved beyond its origins as a simple virtual remote. The new version enhances the FireTV experience by empowering FireTV Recast customers to access live TV channels and recorded content on the go with their phones or tablets.
I joined this program in 2017 and led the design system and design integration efforts. Working closely with both the iOS and Android engineering teams, I crafted platform-specific design libraries along with development-ready technical specs, incorporating those exciting new features into this native mobile app. This collaborative effort brought a successful launch in 2018.
Challenges & Solutions
01 /
Architecting a robust design system that is compatible with multiple tech stacks
To build FireTV App with native technologies, I was faced with the challenges of designing a design system tailored for both iOS and Android platforms.
I navigated the complexity by grasping platform constraints, adapting designs to divergent platform UI standards, and aligning patterns with engineering best practices.
By delivering the design system with platform-specific components, development-ready specs, along with platform targeted assets, I ensured feature compatibility and feasibility across multiple platforms.

Defining adaptive layouts to enable scalability across phone and tablet
Since iOS and Android both run on a variety of devices that have different screen sizes and pixel densities, I built the design system with flexible components, adaptive layouts, and stretchable assets to ensure scalability across different devices.
