Taking TV OTT
I worked closely with the Fios team at Verizon, shaping various evolutions of what is now their Fios TV product. Often embedding within the team in San Jose and Dallas for weeks at a time, a lot of the core features and functionality there today were developed by our team over these years. My main focus was on the set-top box and TV OS platforms, also working across web and mobile teams too.

Early designs that set the foundations
The original interaction model and navigation style shown here is still evident in the latest iteration. The UI layers over the top of playback, navigating through rails and Program Info pages that go beyond to show extras.
Upgrading the traditional EPG
We redesigned the EPG to include artwork for the items airing live, swapping to the live broadcast on focus. ‘Neighbourhoods’ group channels into genres, including your most watched for easy access. Channel logos are also selectable, leading to info pages for catch-up.
Sports teams, stats & fixtures
Sports make up a huge share of Verizon’s paid content. The team wanted to go beyond simply airing the games, including stats and tables. We created Info pages for individual teams that aggregated all that team’s upcoming games, highlights and stats. These scaled up to Info pages for Conferences, Leagues and individual Sports, eg. LA Galaxy, Western Conference, MLS and Soccer.
Viewing stats & tables
Finding a way to display statistics and tables within our existing rail and cards interaction model, for all major sports. Leagues, upcoming games, highlights, results and stats needed to fit.
