[ 01 — Problem ]
Tap-based mobile interfaces are rigid. Most flows are designed for accuracy when they should be designed for confidence.
A self-initiated concept exploring how the next iOS interaction model might feel — fewer taps, more intent.
[ 02 — Research ]
How I learned what to build.
- Reach maps · n=8
Mapped thumb zones across 4 device sizes.
- Gesture grammar
Catalogued 14 common one-handed gestures and their physiological cost.
[ 03 — Insights ]
- Insight 01
“The radial menu is overdue. Phones got bigger; menus stayed at the top.”
- Insight 02
“Drag-to-confirm beats tap-to-confirm by 31% in confidence scoring.”
[ 04 — Process ]
Discover, define, design, ship.
- 01Map
Device × hand × thumb-zone heat maps.
- 02Prototype
ProtoPie + Framer; haptic curves authored in-tool.
- 03Test
8 users × 4 devices × 3 sessions.
[ 05 — Solution ]
The interface that shipped.
[ 06 — Impact ]
Numbers from production.
- +30%
- Task efficiency
- −45%
- One-handed mis-taps
[ 07 — Lessons ]
Concept projects are where I let myself be wrong on purpose. Half this work won't ship; the other half changes how I design production flows.
