My primary objective is to build a unified visual language and modular components, ensuring consistency and efficiency in user experience and interface design across all Apple platforms.
Enhancing Brand Identity and User Engagement
The Zoho Show design system focuses on clarity and engaging the user, necessitating a balanced integration of Zoho's visual aesthetics with features specific to presentations. This approach ensures that the design is user-friendly and aligns with Zoho's broader brand identity.
Inconsistent Components
Zoho Show initially relied on custom components, which limited its ability to expand efficiently across various devices. To address this challenge, we transitioned to using system components, enabling the design system to be more scalable, efficient, and durable. This shift allowed Zoho Show to maintain consistency and improve user experience across different platforms, making the design process more streamlined and adaptable to future updates.
Translating Complex Features
A major challenge in creating Zoho Show for iOS and iPadOS was translating complex web features, like chart manipulation with extensive data editing, to the limited space and touch-based interaction of mobile devices.
