About Project
Transforming the ZDF Mediathek into a modern streaming platform: As a UI Designer at JAKALA, I actively defined and shaped the ZDF relaunch. Working closely with the UX team, I translated concepts into visually engaging and functional interfaces for web, native apps, and smart TVs, ensuring a seamless user experience across all platforms. My role involved designing an intuitive navigation structure and integrating the visual language for automated, algorithm-driven page types, resulting in clear and efficient content delivery. I bridged the gap between design and development, ensuring all design specifications aligned with technical requirements and accessibility standards.
