Capture and share across devices
Objective
I defined how capture and share would work across Meta's glasses and wrist wearables. These were the foundational interaction patterns for a device category that didn't exist yet. The vision was "connected but present": capture a moment, share it with someone you care about, and return to what you were doing without pulling out your phone. But glasses and wrist were being built by separate teams—nobody had defined how content and actions would flow between them.
Strategy
I diagnosed fragmented experiences across three teams, then built alignment through prototypes and a cross-org summit. I redesigned the camera UI to cut capture time in half and collapsed the gap between capture and share. As scope expanded, I took on the handoff: capture on glasses, share from wrist. I led a six-week summit that produced a framework—clear rules for how wrist/glasses experiences can work across devices. I also built prototyping infrastructure that enabled the entire design org to validate on device.
Outcome
Capture time cut in half, usability KPIs nearly doubled, and my framework became plan of record. The camera redesign shipped—faster capture and better shots, setting the new standard. The cross-device framework gave engineering teams a shared spec to build against for all wrist/glasses experiences. 100% of wearables designers adopted on-device prototyping, cutting iteration cycles from weeks to hours. Demo hours scaled from a pilot to an org-wide ritual that leadership cited as culture-building.
