2013-2015, Intel

Fossil Q is a suite of bracelets and watches that help you track your activity and stay in touch with customizable notifications. Intel initially set out to create a wearable technology platform that goes beyond the geek factor to something desirable to wear.

As the Intel UX lead, I helped the team make decisions early on by creating a vision and reference designs to explore how we could make wearable technology fashionable. I led a small UX team through concept and detailed design work to help our hardware and software engineers make progress on the underlying firmware and SDK. When we partnered with Fossil, I designed the firmware/physical product behavior. Getting the design right required intense collaboration with our brilliant software and hardware engineers and the Fossil team.
