Productivity Watch Face Experience
Your Day, at a Glance

Motion Design by Eric Braff
This watch face design delivers essential info at a glance. All of this fits into a system that feels clean and undeniably wearable. 
Role: I led visual design and art direction, partnering closely with a motion designer and UX lead. I also drove early concepting sessions to shape the product’s vision and design language.

The Team:
Creative Direction: Bill Flora
Interaction: Leslie Ferguson, Mahlon Houk
Visual UX: Gretchen Nash
Motion: Eric Braff

The Problem


Wearable interfaces often fall short on delivering actionable, and simple productivity features. Customers lack integrated tools that support quick interactions with high utility, especially for communication and scheduling.

Objective


Design a glanceable watch face experience that empowers users to manage text messages, daily schedules, and alert notifications. All while boosting productivity without added friction.
