ButterflyMX Intercom Welcome Screen
	
Project 

—

 UI DesignDate 

—&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;2021 – 2022



 I was tasked with creating a welcoming landing page that users would see before they start their interaction with the intercom. The goal was to create a warm and welcoming experience, like the feeling of coming home, while also providing some additional non-intrusive functionality where possible.
 






















The result was a dynamic, lightweight, and playful animated screensaver that serves multiple functions.
This screen greets the user, gently instructs them to “tap to start,” provides a QR code to download the app, continually refreshes the screen to reduce burn-in, and provides a sophisticated new face and identity for ButterflyMX’s flagship product.

	ButterflyMX Intercom UI Redesign
	Role – Lead Designer
Project 

— UX/UI DesignDate 

—&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;2023-2024

A crucial step in ButterflyMX's ongoing metamorphosis

 As the flagship product of the company, the ButterflyMX Intercom is used by thousands of people everyday. Each screen must be carefully designed to be as intuitive and efficient as possible – while also looking great.&#38;nbsp;In this project, I was tasked with giving the Intercom's UI a new coat of paint – one that brought the entire experience inline with the company's new branding and direction and created harmony with all of ButterflyMX's products and services. 
 

Goals
Update visual language to match new hardware design and company branding
Improve UX and simplify interaction patterns where possible
Improve responsiveness and support for multiple screen sizes

Striking a BalanceAs the new version of the software was going to run on both our new and existing intercoms, it was crucial for the design to be cohesive and modern, while also being fully backwards-compatible. 
While we wanted to give the whole experience a modern facelift and improve the usability, we also didn't want to diverge too much from the existing patterns and leave our daily users feeling confused and lost.
Process
 First we started with inspiration. We wanted to look at all of our existing and new products as a family and see how to push that direction forward. We also wanted to look at what else was out there and pull inspiration from both new and classic technologies and design elements. 
The ButterflyMX OS and Mobile app both had received recent redesigns/refreshes, so that was one of the main points of reference for design elements and overall consistency.&#38;nbsp;

We experimented with several different approaches to the design, as well as many options for new and updated features and functionality.


Final Results&#38;nbsp;
1. New modern visual design to match new product hardware, industrial design language, and company branding 
2. Improved responsiveness for multiple screen sizes and formats

4. Reduction in code complexity (# of unique components)
5. Design system

ButterflyMX App + SALTOKS Integration&#38;nbsp;
	
Client .......... ButterflyMXProject ········· UX/UI DesignDate ······ January 2021



Design for a feature addition to the ButterflyMX App. This is the first third-party integration available for ButerflyMX’s users.&#38;nbsp;


 

Goal



Provide a seamless and convenient way for tenants who live in a building with both ButterflyMX access control and SALTOKS smartlocks to open and manage their doors through one app.&#38;nbsp;

Prototype (iOS)


	

The smartlock integration was a significant project because it is the first time we are adding an external integration into our mobile app. It is also meant to replicate the functionality of SaltoKS' existing app. Because of this, I was tasked with designing a way for users to view and access available integrations and add them seamlessly, and also recreate the SaltoKS experience in our app with all of it's functionality while retaining our app's unique style and familiarity for users. I did competitive analysis with similar apps to see how they were managing these sort of integrations and also the "tap to unlock" experience so as to not reinvent the wheel but refine it, worked with our developers to see what was possible and utilize best practices, and also created a user flow that was efficient and easy for users to understand but also provided a delightful experience with friendly illustrations and a step-by-step onboarding experience.

Design



	


	

With this project I aimed to practice my graphic
design skills by designing with a clear goal and objective. I wanted to create something
with clean and timeless design, but importantly something that was fun and didn’t
take itself too seriously. In this project you will find a logo design, mockups
for packaging designs, as well as other brand materials. You can also see my
sketches and my process of how I reached the final logo. I hope to continue developing
this brand to make it even stronger and fully fleshed out.&#38;nbsp;

A logo animation for ButterflyMX, using their prexisting logo symbol and wordmark.&#38;nbsp;


ButterflyMX is a company that develops various new technologies relating to easy property access through a smart intercom that you can control from your phone. A recurring motif for the company was “opening doors” and providing access to people, so I wanted to potray that through the animation as simply as possible.&#38;nbsp;

Usage

	

	ButterflyMX Video Content
The primary purpose of the project stemmed from the need for an intro sequence for ButterflyMX’s hardware installation tutorial videos. After brainstorming, the solution evolved into a logo animation that could be used as an intro for these videos, as well as a larger brand-wide animation that represented the company’s purpose and vision.&#38;nbsp;

	The Problem, after NYU had completed the transition of their Engineering school’s new branding, the MSA needed a logo that was equally modern and recognizable. The old logo was utilizing the now-defunt green and purple color scheme of Polytechnic University along with a background image that could not be scaled for different platforms.&#38;nbsp;
	My solution was to create a brand new logo that was modern and more inline with NYU Tandon’s new branding, but also one that was unique and timeless and could stand on it’s own. I used typography inspired by NYU’s wordmark, utilizing the Gotham type family. I also created a symbol of a mosque and minaret, which represents the large Muslim community at Tandon and NYU. Finally, I incorporated a subtle purple gradient which is a callback to NYU’s signature purple, but warmer and more inviting.

	Inktober Animations
	Medium ········· Motion Graphics + Digital Animation Published ······ October 2019&#38;nbsp;





 

Inktober is an annual social media challenge which takes place every October and calls for artists to draw or create artwork based around a daily prompt. This year, instead of doing drawings, I decided to create mini animations in After Effects based on the daily theme in order to practice and improve my motion graphics skills. Check out the original posts on my Dribbble.



(This project is still a work in progress.)

A small motion graphics piece featuring a&#38;nbsp; computer desk illustration and a fun little animation. Just a little reminder of those times when your computer keeps loading and loading....and loading. The original artwork was made in Illustrator and animated in After Effects.
