As a designer at Halo Media, I collaborated closely with product owners and engineering teams on a proof-of-concept redesign of the My Disney Experience app, laying the groundwork for Disney designers to update the platform with their latest design system. The project aimed to validate SDUI-compliant designs in production-ready code while showcasing enhanced UX capabilities across key flows, including checkout, ride booking, search and map, and profile/settings. My role encompassed designing UI components aligned with SDUI standards, embedding metadata through a bespoke Figma plugin, and ensuring seamless export to JSON for Flutter implementation.

Design decisions were guided by the need to respect both SDUI and Flutter constraints that are often overlooked in traditional workflows. Components were iteratively tested through the plugin’s rule-based validation system to catch structural and layout issues early, while responsive design principles ensured scalability across devices. Frequent collaboration with engineering maintained alignment between visual intent and technical feasibility, allowing the designs to remain both expressive and implementable.

The project culminated in a fully validated reference app demonstrating multi-page SDUI integration in Flutter. Beyond proving technical feasibility, it highlighted how custom tooling can accelerate the design-to-development workflow, reduce friction between teams, and support iterative testing with complex design systems.
