That’s something that Apple News has now decided to go after, as well. Flipboard has been differentiating itself lately with new features like a greater emphasis on local news content.Apple News and Flipboard have been fighting for primacy among consumers who seek out apps focused exclusively on news consumption.

Managing production involves many tasks such as coordinating, exporting assets, or even cutting features, to assure quality and deliver a great end result. This is where I fully leverage my engineering background to program prototypes that explore completely new interactions or move an experience from “works” to “delightful”. Having engineered complex interfaces myself, I write specs as a designer that describe the complex dimension of an idea beyond its mockup, useful for engineers during implementation.įeed design to the left, with its detail spec to the right:įor custom user flows, interactive prototyping is important to go beyond static mockups. When designing specific screens, high-fidelity mockups with real data paint the clearest picture and help during engineering. In the initial phase, sketching serves two main purposes: it helps to communicate ideas efficiently to other people for further discussion and it is the first step in developing specific screens and interactions without already committing to them. One can discover specific ideas developing through each stage up to the final product. To describe my process, I show select artifacts of several stages of the development. It is built and powered by Flipboard, and in this collaboration with Samsung I lead the design, prototyped interactions, and managed the production within a 3 months timeframe.įlipboard Briefing during the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 announcement: Flipboard Briefing is the news app integrated into the OS for all Samsung Galaxy Note 4 devices world-wide.
