FluidOS Calendar
A native calendar application to track meetings and events on a conceptual foldable device. (2021)
My Role
UX/Visual Designer
Context
FluidOS
The FluidOS Calendar is one of 12 conceptual applications my team and I designed for a foldable phone using the FluidOS design system. The calendar app allows users to manage their day-to-day schedules. After my teammate and I designed the phone view, I optimized the experience for the watch.

Objective
Design a consistent yet optimized calendar experience across phone and watch views
The Fluid device is a foldable phone that transitions from a full-screen phone to a compact watch view. With the FluidOS Calendar app, the challenge was to ensure events stayed clear, accessible, and easy to interact with, even on limited screen space.
project timeline
3 week sprint
The calendar app was designed during our final sprint for FluidOS.
Major improvements
Designing for legibility
We received feedback that the events were too tightly packed. We decided to increase font size and padding between events.
Designing for accessibility
I used rounded gray backgrounds to make touch points more visible.
final features
List view
The list view is the default for the calendar app. On the phone, it shows a monthly overview with a scrollable list of upcoming events. The watch version displays a simplified list of upcoming dates.
Detailed view
Tapping an event opens a detailed screen with end time, location, and notes.
