Smart Menu is a smartphone app that allows students to create their own health goals and uses those goals to find healthy restaurants and food options nearby. Smart Menu collates menu data from the restaurants and individual reviews from students. This data plus the health goals allow the app to help students find healthy eating options.

This is a UX design prototype for Pandora's Android app (from October 2014), adding a "Driving Mode" and lateral navigation between stations from the Now Playing screen. I took a challenge to redesign Pandora's Android app or add features at my discretion. Focusing on the Now Playing screen where users probably spend most of their time, I identified two areas in which I wanted to improve its UX: station identification and navigation, and its user experience while on the go. A 7 minute 25 second presentation of this demo with commentary is available on YouTube: http://youtu.be/LyH6Gl580OY A full write-up of an earlier, pre-Proto.io iteration of the design (along with a downloadable pdf) is available at http://edwinli.com/ux/portfolio/pandora-driving-mode/.

The recently released Google Inbox app is a re-thinking of the email inbox experience that beautifully demonstrates Google's material design interactive animation language. This prototype focuses on the compose button's animation. Click the + to reveal a new state where a wave of buttons and labels float up, and the + becomes a pencil icon. It uses two states, with staggered animations.
