Product Design for Ralli

  • About

    I picked up UX in 2019 because I felt like product work was a problem solving superpower; that some problems haven’t benefited from enough design thinking attention. Voting infrastructure was one of these neglected problems.

    This project started in 2019 and has been refreshed in 2024 with new interest, direction and collaborators.

  • Product

    Ralli, a mobile app that repackages election information in your district and prepares voters for the polls with zero partisan interest, advertising or partnership and is 100% sustained by the participation of voters.

  • Team

    This is a personal project that has greatly benefited from these generous collaborators:

    Person 1, Product Thinker
    Person 2, Developer
    Friends & family who’ve tested and let me harass them about their voting habits

Approach / What Success Looks Like:

Build something for active voters that is so simple, so easy, that even the most reluctant non-voter gets swept up in the current and can't help but join the party.

Ario Connect with Verizon & Samsung

We were proud to collaborate with folks at Verizon and Samsung to demo Ario Connect’s video call AR drawing, libraries of objects, and sophisticated 3D models - all powered by Verizon’s network and displayed on Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Projects & Contributions

Product-Market Fit Discovery

Ario and Ario Connect received grants & innovation awards, but needed to find B2B or consumer market-fit.

We set out with wide-reaching surveys and outreach, securing pilots and trial agreements in manufacturing, fleet and field services, warehousing and energy services as well as some consumer applications in AirBnBs, museums and educational settings.

Component Library

Cross-platform component (web app, iOS and Android) color, type, layout, icon, language and branding outlines and documentation in Figma.

Ario Connect Iteration

Simplify idioms, iconography, and flows within the video calling interface to improve calling experience and intuitive interactions.

Researched and pitched asynchronous communication solutions in short-form video form modeled after a “walkie-talkie” experience that leveraged rich data and annotation.

Ario x Verizon x Samsung

Worked closely with Verizon and Samsung teams to script and demo Ario Connect on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with Verizon 5G UW network in a 60-second video demonstrating Connect’s AR and video communication features.
