Disney Planning & Forecasting

Product desigN | The Walt Disney Company | 2022 - Present

Simple, seamless, unified systems to help Disney employees schedule, budget, create, and release content globally.

"Design enterprise tools that improve user experience and increase operational efficiency resulting in time and cost savings."

At Disney, on the Content Distribution team, I work on enterprise tools that help our employees schedule, budget, create, and release content competitively globally.

The Planning Tool along with other enterprise tools are slowly replacing legacy tools and other disconnected manual methods of operating (i.e. Excel spreadsheets, Airtable) by integrating all employee needs into more unified automated systems.

Brands Supported: ABC, Disney+, Disney+ Hotstar, FX, Hulu, National Geographic

Goals

1. Improve user experience & increase efficiency (time saved in seconds = millions of dollars saved).

2. Reduce manual error and/or duplicates by removing the need for manual entry in numerous static documents.

3. Consolidate information into one consistent, streamlined workflow with minimal friction, and automate as much data as possible.

4. Audit existing system and uplift to our new design system.

5. Audit to align existing patterns across tools and improve overall UX, as well as find areas of opportunity.

6. Contribute to the design system.
