Scope
Currently I lead a team of 5 designers (3 UX designers and 2 VD designers) and 1 researcher for Alta Video as design director. At the moment I have stakeholder meetings to develop product visions, contribute to roadmap planning and play a key role in product management. Until acquisition I was part of the UX team and played a key role in the development of the product. I contributed to more than UX, I did market analysis, stakeholder presentations, planned the information architecture, did user flow development, concept development and User testing.

From zero to acquisition
During the entire development of the product, I have contributed significantly to the design, the timeline represents key results with my contributions over time.
Information architecture
Alta Video's robust and intricate features require a well-structured information architecture for optimal user experience and scalability.
Scalability
Our biggest challenge was to create a scalable information architecture that allows categorization of tools and settings based on functionality, ensuring intuitive navigation even as new features are added. With 8 primary tools and expandable sub-structures, our system evolves to meet user expectations while maintaining clarity and ease of use. After 6 years it still stands and proves it scalable design.
Categories
A simple an intuitive product was created by categorizing based on use cases, the user can easily understand by looking at the names of the tools.
Infinitely scalable
I designed the navigation to allow a certain amount of flexibility due to specific video security requirements like, multiple monitor setup.
UX Design
I significantly contributed to the UX design of over 1,000 flows and 10,000 screens, meticulously crafted to deliver exceptional user experiences.
Feature highlights
Alta Video boasts a multitude of impressive features. However, I have selected the most user-beneficial and innovative feature to showcase here.
Timeline design
I designed the UX for the timeline and it underwent an extensive iterative process, as it was the first design intended to visually present computer vision data in a user-friendly manner and be one of our key differentiators. Showing graphs of the amount of movement detected from people and vehicles. Subsequently, Daria, our visual designer, transformed my UX designs for timelines into visually captivating designs ready for implementation.
