Creative UIs with Compose | Chris Horner

Get ready for what’s next — join us at KotlinConf 2026 👉 https://kotl.in/conf26-ytd Recording brought to you by American Express. https://americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs While most folks associate Compose UI with Material, its API allows us to be more expressive than ever before. Mobile UIs have become homogenized and stale, but video games continue to provide a wealth of innovation and creativity. In this session we'll recreate a complex user interface from the game Persona 5 to showcase how to really push Compose beyond Material Design. Topics include: • Drawing custom shapes • Animating path data • Non-standard shapes in LazyColumn/LazyRow • Custom effects inside LazyColumn/LazyRow • Remaining usable and accessible when not using Material • How/why video games can be a source of inspiration
