Music Visualizer

My main contribution for this device was creating the rules and behaviors of the equalizer. I wrote basic algorithm for how the ring behaves based on music, set rules for ring speeds, and color picking based on album art. Once complete, I documented all behaviors and worked directly with developers to ensure it was built.

Device Patterns

Along with the music visualizer, I also oversaw work from the motion design team and contributed by creating:

  • Entry & Exit transition patterns
  • Adaptive rules for proximity detection
  • Micro-animations
  • Alexa Voice Chrome designs
  • Clock face designs
  • Karaoke Pattern

Animation Framework

I led the initiative to create a new framework that allows us to utilize animated vector assets. This unblocks the motion team to deliver highly detailed animations and provide Scalable Vector Graphic files to engineering (similar to a Lottie file). Because of this, we were able to provide a wide range of vector animation files for weather, micro animations, and easter eggs.
