The work

Redesign Twitch's flagship homepage ad so brands could use the platform's most visible placement without breaking the viewing experience.

Role
Designer, Sales; product-design and engineering partnerTwitch, 2019–2020
Constraint
The player and surrounding layout changed across screens, leaving advertisers without reliable control over composition and message placement.
What I did
  • Mapped responsive-safe zones around the changing player layout.
  • Proposed a structured composition system that gave designers predictable control.
  • Worked directly with product design and engineering to turn the visual proposal into production rules.
Result
  • Engineering adopted the responsive layout system as the production specification for the ad unit.
