ESPN on Xbox

Big Park (Microsoft)

Overview

The ESPN app was one of the first streaming video content services apps that our studio had worked on. The goal being to bring all of the ESPN video content and channels to the Xbox in an easily digestible and interactive manner.

I was part of the team that worked on designing and building out the user interface and experience of the ESPN app, and the many iterations and improvements throughout the years.
