Pandora to Instagram Stories Share

Lead Designer

 

Share your favorite music and podcasts from Pandora to Instagram Stories.

After launching Pandora to Snapchat Share, I worked on what an Instagram Stories share could look like during a Hackathon.

The idea was valuable enough to get resourced, and we launched on September 5th, 2019 (covered on TechCrunch, Engadget, 9to5mac, and more).


My responsibilities included an abbreviated product design process and heavier focus on visual design:

  • Ideation and brainstorming

  • Secondary research on other IG share products

  • Clear communication and collaboration with PM, PMM, engineering, and partners to set and understand MVP priorities

  • UX flow explorations and UI design iterations on leading to VP approval

  • Redlining and design spec hand-off for engineering

  • Pre-launch design QA and support with engineering and product
