Smart watchfaces

Crafting watchface designs for different global user archetypes and lifestyles

Focus: UI & Motion Design
Team: 5 People
Duration: 2 Months
My role: Designer

How might we craft smartwatch designs tailored to user archetypes and markets to appeal to different lifestyles?

Challenge

For a multinational technology and consumer brand, the team developed 170 watch face variations for 11 different directions and two models using a user-centred framework that helped us create design concepts tailored to different lifestyle moments for different user archetypes in a global market.

Process

After defining the user archetype groups, we created several visual moodboards to capture the look and feel of each group. These formed the basis of the subsequent design explorations, which included feature set and user experience considerations, and culminated in screen designs and motion snippets.

My role

As a designer and member of a 5-person team, I conceptualised several theme directions, moodboards and worked on subsequent design explorations with screen designs and animations.
