SAMSUNG GAMING HUB

Onboarding Gamers to Play

DESCRIPTION

For players new to gaming, getting started on Samsung Gaming Hub felt daunting. I designed an onboarding flow that eased them in with platform education, simple controller pairing and personalization, which increased conversion and engagement.

SAMSUNG TV PLUS

Building An Internal Ad Banner Tool

DESCRIPTION

Design had become the bottleneck for promoting Samsung TV Plus’ growing lineup. I built an internal tool that lets marketing PMs create their own ad banners, so designers only review and polish instead of building each one from scratch.
