Achievements
Launched with Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in 2024; Buds received 2025 CES Innovation Award
End-to-End UX Design
Designed end-to-end UX/UI flows, screens, and prototypes across the Galaxy Wearable app and Samsung’s phone interface. This included Buds pairing, onboarding, feature discovery, in-app controls, the notification panel, widgets, and Quick Panel.
Interaction Design & Scenario Mapping
Defined real-world scenarios for features like Voice Detect and Siren Detect, including how the Buds should respond when users speak or a siren is detected. Designed controls that let users fine-tune noise cancellation and ambient sound levels.
Usability Testing & Validation
Conducted A/B and usability testing to compare UX/UI flows and control options. Synthesized findings into the final design direction, prioritizing quick adjustments without opening the app and familiar sliders for fine-tuning noise cancellation and ambient sound.
Cross-Device Experience Design
Extended the adaptive hearing experience across Galaxy Buds, Samsung phones, and Galaxy Watch, designing notifications and quick-access controls that made key features accessible without opening the Galaxy Wearable app.
