Context
SamTap was my first real dive into UX. As a product design intern at Samsung, I took on the challenge of creating a slide controller for smartwatches (back when Sketch and InVision were still the go-to tools.) It taught me how to think small (literally) and design for tiny screens without losing the big picture.
