For the Uber Hero Walkthrough, my goal was to create a series of videos to illustrate a clear and visually engaging guide that showcased the functionality of Uber’s Hero UI. Working with creative direction from Dystnct Media and leveraging client-provided assets, we set out to build a motion piece that was equal parts instructional and brand-driven. The challenge was to not just demonstrate the interface, but to design an experience that felt as seamless and polished as the product itself.
I translated static assets into a dynamic walkthrough that aligned with Uber’s design language. Every transition, timing decision, and interaction was carefully crafted to highlight ease of use while reinforcing brand clarity. By leaning into motion as a storytelling tool, the walkthrough became more than a simple tutorial — it embodied Uber’s commitment to intuitive design and user-centered functionality.
