Fire TV Ambient Experience
Roles: concept design / motion design
_
This year I was tasked with creating ambient moving art for the new Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED. This new feature allows customers to set art backgrounds on their TV. At launch, customers can display over a thousand pieces of free artwork, personal photos, helpful Alexa widgets, and more.
I created a series of 8 looping videos that slowly ripple and change color over time.

Below are a few personal motion studies I created throughout 2022. I focused on dynamic ways to generate images using After Effects.
Fire TV Widgets
Roles: motion design / consulting

Remember last year when Amazon launched Widgets on the Echo Show 15? The Widget patterns I helped establish are now available on the Fire TV. I taught Widget components to new motion colleagues and consulted on new behaviors.
Alexa Device Motion Design Guidelines
Roles: Motion Theory / Design Systems / Motion Design / Writing / Documentation
_
I led a team to create Alexa’s first Motion Design Guidelines. This comprehensive document showcases how we approach motion within the org, delivers motion tenets, documentation, patterns, components, motion tokens, and best practices for creating motion for our devices. After writing the outline and content, I compiled all assets into the guideline website.
