During the summer of 2024, I was fortunate to return to Apple as a Human Interface Design Intern on the tvOS team. Over my 12-week internship, I gained experience designing system-level software for the Apple TV 4K and new interaction models. I wore many hats while working on three projects, from visual design to interaction design to user testing.
I designed high-fidelity mockups and user flows for a new tvOS feature, which I pitched to the Director of Engineering. This feature was approved for a future release. Besides spending time in Sketch, I spent most of my internship focusing on the interaction patterns of new and experienced Apple TV users. To do so, I directed 26 moderated in-depth user tests.
As my internship drew to a close, I had the privilege of presenting my work to Robert Kondrk, VP of Apple Services, and Fredric Vinna, Director of Design. The details of my work are currently top secret, but I cannot wait for its release to millions of Apple TV users. Special thanks to my team and fellow interns for making this summer such a fun and unforgettable experience!
