Moxion

When I joined Autodesk, they had just acquired Moxion, a cloud-based solution designed specifically for the media & entertainment industry to handle digital dailies and review workflows on film and TV productions.






Autodesk Flow Capture
Moxion was to be released as Autodesk Flow Capture. Re-designed and given tighter integration with Autodesk’s wider systems.





Goals
  • Limit churn as existing users are migrated from Moxion to Autodesk Flow Capture.

  • Work with stakeholders from Moxion and Autodesk to align on an MVP feature set with a plan for fast-follow releases

  • Work with Marketing to integrate new brand assets which are aligned with the Autodesk suite of tools.


Process

  • Weekly standing meetings with Apple and NBCUniversal.

  • Communicated design concepts and solutions to key audiences including executives and external stakeholders.

  • Worked with the design team to create user flows and clickable prototypes to communicate before moving to development.


















Managing assets with Autodesk Flow

  • We redesigned playlist structures to better align with Autodesk’s ecosystem, enabling smoother interoperability with tools like 3DS Max, Maya, and ShotGrid.

  • Optimized asset organization to handle high volumes of digital content throughout the entire production pipeline, enabling seamless collaboration from on-set capture to final delivery.












    Centralized production pipieline metadata

    • We centralized file metadata across Autodesk products to create a single source of truth, improving consistency and accelerating asset tracking.

    • Enabled dynamic asset sorting by metadata type, making it easier for teams to locate, filter, and manage content throughout the production lifecycle.










    Secure role-based permissions

    • Share with confidence by enabling secure, role-based access for internal teams and external stakeholders without compromising sensitive content.

    • Protect assets with automatic watermarking, deterring leaks and enabling traceability across review and approval workflows.














      Collaborate with ease

      • Work on assets at the same time as the rest of your team from anywhere in the world.

      • Control who has access with deep security settings, including granular permissions, expiration dates, and audit trails to meet studio-grade compliance requirements.








      Apple TV

      Autodesk Flow has been designed for living room playback, ensuring creatives can review content on TVs to assess color, motion, and fidelity in context. 











      Design System

      Contributed to the design system for Autodesk Flow and the broader enterprise design system, creating reusable components, documenting patterns, and designing user flows to ensure consistency and scalability across products.
