Header Navigation Enhancements

The SiriusXM site navigation was a high-traffic, high-visibility component serving millions of subscribers. As CSS lead, the work covered styling and refining the global nav - dropdown hover states, menu formatting, and the associated content panels - keeping interactions consistent and polished across a CMS-driven platform where editorial teams were pushing content constantly.

Channel Search

The Channel Search experience was built to handle the scale of SiriusXM's full catalog - returning results across genres, live events, and individual channels simultaneously. A keyword search for "Rock" surfaces over 300 results, organized by type: a genre channel carousel designed and formatted from scratch, complete with channel artwork, numbers, and smooth navigation controls; contextual live event listings pulled in real time; and direct channel matches in a scannable list below. The global typeahead in the site header was also designed and styled end-to-end - formatting the suggestion dropdown to surface genre and channel matches as the user types, before they ever reach the search page. The challenge was owning the visual design and layout across three distinct result types and keeping the whole experience fast, clear, and consistent at catalog scale.
