Project Description

Remember when wireless earbuds weren't a thing yet? I do. I helped Samsung design theirs with an interaction model and integrated app.

As lead interaction designer, I defined the product's experience across touch gestures, app architecture, and UI concepts. I created detailed interaction flows and interface prototypes that shaped how users would control, customize, and connect to the earbuds—including 'capturing' songs and personalizing their listening experience.

Our work was the foundation for Samsung Galaxy Buds.
