Project: Integrating android phone calendars to Android Auto to create a safe in-car experience.
Process: As Android auto team we had no expertise on the calendar app design, I first gathered insights from internal teams at Google. Than put our early hypothesis and new design patterns through user testing. Deciding on a new optimized list pattern as a result, which is being used on many other Auto UI.
My role and responsibilities: I led design track, working closely with product manager on definition; and with other designers, researchers on design direction and execution.
Lack of calendar integration has been a pain point. However, understanding where to start, which features to bring over and oprimize for car usage was a huge unknown. I helped the team gather knowledge, form hypothesis, test with users and learn. Resulting in a well accepted product that is still grwoing to include
Starting small, tetsing and adding was key. Especially in an area we were not experts at.
Positive press, user feedback and numbers…
