video drawing tools for adding annotations
mirrored experience with PDF documents
Designs Created and Provided
Existing user flows for annotations and telestrations (video annotations) were poor and difficult to understand and use. Prior research was unavailable to reference and leverage for making decisions on enhancements. Current mobile design did not pass Human Interface Guidelines by Apple. Needed UX and UI parity across platforms and devices. Train once, experience on all. Customers required 508 compliance!
Architecture for the existing pdf and video experiences provided hurdles to work around. Including a 3rd party tool that was restricted in drag n drop functionality and modern usability and accessibility requirements. Had to work designs and prototypes around legacy behavior until we upgraded at the end of the project to the latest player.
Specs provided for branding and image ratios. Matched native app dimensions for existing customers. We weren't using Figma just yet and in early stages of Adobe XD, with exit of Sketch use
