Brief
MGM Resorts hired 1appworks to develop a native iOS app for their newly created digital media platform (DMP).
The greatest challenge was converting their robust web experience into a usable mobile experience and maintaining their existing architecture and brand guidelines.

The DMP was constructed for the web by designing components and importing data with JSON. I redesigned all of their components in Sketch to speak an iOS design language, yet still adhere to their brand guidelines. I also made sure the variables were consistent with the DMP's API (all pink areas were representing a variable).

I created a hi-fidelity prototype in Invision so the stakeholders could validate the design.

I then documented the entire app in Adobe Illustrator for the development handoff.
