Having designed Sync in several other operating systems, I can't claim that this was terribly challenging for me except for the timeline. I was asked to rethink the Sync interface for the new Android client and had to get up to speed on the design language, which differed from every Firefox before it.
Working closely with other staff designers, and some engineers on the net new pairing experience, I was able to provide a clear path for the engineers that satisfied the PM and my fellow designers.
