Designing Unique Watch Faces for Every Moment in Life

170 watch face concepts across 11 models, built on a people-centric framework

Composition showing a range of custom smartwatch faces designed for different lifestyle moments

We designed a wide range of watch faces for the upcoming smartwatches of a multinational technology and consumer brand.

Each face was tailored to a specific lifestyle moment and grounded in a people-centric framework that mapped real values, needs, and desires to watch face functionality. We delivered more than 170 concepts in total, and over 40 of them have since shipped on production devices.

The work exists, it just can't live here. Most of what we made stays under NDA. If you're curious about the framework, the process, or my role in it, I'm happy to walk through it in a conversation.
