ButterflyMX Intercom Redesign 2020

I began working for ButterflyMX in 2018. As the only in-house industrial designer, my responsibilities were vast. I was tasked with designing three new products that would launch in Q4 2020. My goal as the designer was to create a cohesive product ecosystem with this new product launch. The product I’ve highlighted here is the latest version of their flagship product, the smart-intercom.

My goals in this redesign project began with an assessment of the previous version. My design goals were augmented by user-feedback we’ve received directly from our clients (property managers), as well as end-users (residents).

I not only designed the intercom, but also created 3D renders for marketing, dimensioned orthographic drawings, installation guides, wiring diagrams, screenprint design specs for the logo decal, and much more.

The other two products in this launch can be found here: The Keypad

Redesign Goals:

  • Declutter/simplify the interface

  • Improve audio quality

  • Improve wireless connectivity

  • Create brand recognition across new product ecosystem: Intercom, Keypad, and Keylocker

Before beginning this design project, I outlined a hardware development process for the entire team to follow.
