Key challenge
Autodesk Fusion was powerful. Complex. And trapped on a desktop.
For years, this wasn't a problem—until our competitors launched mobile and web experiences while we watched potential customers slip away. Manufacturing engineers couldn't access their designs on the factory floor. Distributed teams struggled with workflow continuity. Product designers wanted tablet flexibility but had no option.

Identifying gaps in multi-device consistency and workflow continuity across leading CAD platforms
1. First Draft — Establishing the Baseline
Goal:
Make the existing Date Picker usable on small screens.
Design process:
I started by adapting the existing medium-density Date Picker into a lower-density layout.
This first draft focused on:
-
Increasing spacing between dates
-
Enlarging tap targets
-
Simplifying visual hierarchy
2. Exploration —
Rethinking Container & Interaction
Key Question: What is the most natural container for touch-first
date selection?
I explored two primary directions:
Design decision & Stakeholder feedback
The bottom sheet quickly proved more resilient for mobile and compact environments, while popovers remained useful for larger screens. The low-density variant needed adaptive containers, not a single fixed pattern.
3.System Alignment — Bringing It Back to Weave
Mapping key workflows
Strategic Multi-Device Rollout
As Autodesk Fusion expanded to the browser, we intentionally avoided a “feature-parity everywhere” approach. Instead, we studied core user groups, identified their highest-value workflows, and matched those workflows to the devices best suited to support them.
