During the summer of 2022, I interned as a UX Designer on the Fire TV design team at Amazon. I worked on redesigning the personalization and customization experiences of Fire TV. And because Fire TV often exists as a physical television, I got to design for TV-specific interaction patterns using a limited remote. I also got a taste of designing for voice-forward (or multi-modal) experiences as I was designing with the embedded Alexa in mind. Throughout the 12-week internship, I audited Fire TV, conducted market research, familiarized myself with existing User Research and customer pain points, redesigned the complex Settings information architecture based on an updated mental model, and proposed a new end-to-end experience with multiple touchpoints for navigating Settings.
