THE PROBLEM

Turn Apple’s launch content into precise, consistent pages across three breakpoints, on tight launch timelines.

WHAT I OWNED

Responsive composition, typography and image cropping per breakpoint, asset slicing and export, developer handoff and implementation review.

THE OUTCOME

3 Apple.com experiences delivered across 2 launches in 3 months, each true to Apple’s design standards.

01 — CONTEXT

Apple

I designed responsive Apple.com homepage compositions featuring HomePod, iPhone X, iPhone 8, Apple Watch, iPad, iMac Pro, AirPods and Apple Music.

Working within Apple’s established design system, I turned approved copy, imagery and campaign assets into polished layouts for desktop, tablet and mobile.

My work covered composition, responsive adaptation, typography, spacing and image placement, through to asset slicing, developer handoff and implementation review.

02 — CHALLENGE

Precision at Every Breakpoint

Fixed content and a strict design standard, but every product, image and line length behaved differently on each screen.

01 — Changing Priorities

The homepage had to reorder around each new launch without losing balance or crowding other products.

02 — Long-Form Storytelling

HomePod’s narrative and technical illustrations had to read in order on a narrow phone screen.

03 — Campaign Meets Commerce

(PRODUCT)RED combined storytelling with products from several categories on one page.

04 — Pixel-Level Standards

Apple’s bar for spacing, cropping and type left no room for “close enough” at any breakpoint.

03 — APPROACH

Responsive by Design

Working within Apple’s templates and standards, my process ran from layout to live page.

01 — Compose

Built page layouts from the content sequence, balancing type, imagery and negative space.

02 — Adapt per Breakpoint

Designed desktop, tablet and mobile versions, re-cropping imagery and adjusting type and spacing for each.

03 — Prepare Assets

Sliced, optimized and organized responsive image variations for development.

04 — Review the Build

Handed off to developers and reviewed implementation to fix visual inconsistencies before launch.

04 — SOLUTION

Consistency Across Devices

Responsive page compositions that kept each product’s story intact at every screen size. I refined the relationship between typography, imagery and negative space so every section felt deliberate, and every breakpoint was production-ready.

05 — SELECTED WORK

Apple.com Experiences

Three responsive experiences demonstrating homepage composition, long-form product storytelling and campaign-focused commerce across desktop, tablet and mobile.

EXPERIENCE 01 — APPLE.COM HOMEPAGE

Adapting Apple’s homepage for changing product priorities

I designed responsive Apple.com homepage compositions featuring HomePod, iPhone X, iPhone 8, Apple Watch, iPad, iMac Pro, AirPods and Apple Music.

Using the provided copy, imagery, and content sequencing, I composed hero sections and promotional tiles while maintaining clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, and strong product visibility across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Key decision:

I rebalanced the hero and tile grid each time priorities changed, so the featured launch led without crowding out other products.

Desktop

Tablet

Mobile

EXPERIENCE 02 — HOMEPOD

Translating long-form product storytelling across devices

I designed responsive layouts for the HomePod product experience using approved copy, product imagery, technical illustrations and campaign assets.

Across desktop, tablet and mobile, I adapted typography, imagery, spacing, section proportions and content stacking to preserve the product narrative and visual impact at every breakpoint.

Key decision:

On mobile, I re-cropped technical illustrations and stacked sections so the audio story still read in order on a narrow screen.

Desktop

Tablet

Mobile

EXPERIENCE 03 — APPLE (PRODUCT)RED

Building a unified campaign and commerce experience

I designed responsive compositions for the Apple (PRODUCT)RED experience using approved campaign messaging, product imagery and accessory assets.

The experience brought together products across multiple Apple categories while maintaining a consistent visual rhythm between campaign storytelling, product imagery and commerce content.

Key decision:

I used one consistent tile rhythm across iPhone and accessory products, so campaign and commerce content felt like one page.

06 — SCALE & DELIVERY

Launch & Campaign Scale

Three Apple.com experiences delivered in three months, from the homepage to a cross-category campaign.

01 — EXPERIENCES

3 Responsive Experiences

Homepage, HomePod and (PRODUCT)RED, each designed for desktop, tablet and mobile.

02 — PRODUCTS

8+ Products Featured

Homepage compositions for HomePod, iPhone X, iPhone 8, Apple Watch, iPad, iMac Pro, AirPods and Apple Music.

03 — LAUNCHES

2 Product Launches

HomePod (February 2018) and (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 (April 2018).

04 — HANDOFF

Design to Live Page

Sliced assets, developer handoff and build review for every page.

07 — REFLECTION

Key Learnings

What this project taught me about precision at scale.

Precision Is the Design

Small changes to crop, scale and spacing decided whether a section felt balanced or off.

Every Breakpoint Is Its Own Layout

Mobile needed its own order and cropping, not a shrunken desktop page.

Handoff Is Part of the Craft

Organized assets and close developer review kept the live page true to the design.

What I’d Do Next

Document breakpoint decisions as reusable guidelines so future launches move faster.
