The challenge

Fusion HD set out to give law-enforcement agencies a compact, affordable in-car video system without giving up capability. The interface had to feel as robust as the hardware and stay usable for officers working in a moving vehicle with limited mobility.

My approach

  1. 01Competitor research (WatchGuard)
  2. 02Requirements with developers and stakeholders
  3. 03User flow sketches
  4. 04UI design
  5. 05Usability testing

Process & outcome

I designed for quick access first: large touch targets, a shallow navigation and a high-contrast visual style that reads at a glance in a patrol car. The design balanced what officers needed in the field with what the engineering team could ship on the hardware.

Impact

Fusion HD launched and was adopted by agencies nationwide, giving departments a lower-cost in-car video option without sacrificing functionality.
