PROJECT OVERVIEW

With the DISH Anywhere app, you can watch every TV channel you get at home on a mobile and tablet. Dish subscribers can watch live or recorded programs anytime, anywhere. Also, manage home television with a full-featured DVR manager and a searchable program guide. It was the second app our UX team created after Dish Explorer. We designed for mobile and tablet and had our app rating above 4.0 on the App Store.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY

I collaborated with other UX designers, product managers, and engineering teams to create unique visual experiences that conveyed clear meaning and had a meaningful impact. I defined and created output to communicate relevant visual languages, conducted iterative design processes to investigate solutions, and incorporated feedback from users, leadership, and team members to improve our designs.

COMPETITIVE RESEARCH FOR MOBILE VIEW

We conducted competitive research on the main key screens, including sign-in, menu, home, and guide, by analyzing similar features in platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Direct TV, Hulu, and Xfinity. This research helped us identify new ways to serve our users, uncover new opportunities, and determine the exact content we needed to produce to meet their needs.

UI DESIGN PROCESS

Before I joined Dish, one of our designers created the first feature of DANY with Dish's branding. It had drop shadow, graduation and glossy graphics. Noticed that it was behind visual trends of 2016 so I created a modern graphic style with the flat design concept and dark theme that they’d not used before. But also, I tried to blend Dish's branding. The feedback was great. Users had less eye strain and it allowed easier focus on video content with the dark theme.

Tablet Final UI Design

We began the design process with a mobile-first approach and carried over the same visual language to the tablet platform.

FINDING BUGS

Our engineering team was in Bangalore, India. It was hard to communicate with them even though we were using Jira tickets, so I created documents called “Finding Bugs below.” It improved our communication and made the process faster and more efficient.
