Discovr is a Number 1 music app in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, UK, and more than 50 other countries. Discovr has been featured extensively by Apple in the US, featured in The Wall Street Journal and used by millions of music fans across the globe.

I was responsible for all app design including the user interface, prototyping, user experience design, visual design, usability testing, and basic interface code. I also did all business and marketing for the app, ran the app development team, and did all project management to take the app from concept to App Store.

Emoji Type for iPhone & iPad

Emoji Type is a custom keyboard for iOS that autosuggests emoji as you type. Featured by Apple worldwide. Acquired by Swiftkey (now owned by Microsoft).
 

Emoji Type was featured by Apple on their official US Twitter account and across the App Store, as well as featured in The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and many more. The app was released on the US App Store 18 months before Apple shipped their own emoji prediction feature in iOS, and was then acquired by Swiftkey who were subsequently bought by Microsoft. The app is no longer available to download from the App Store.

I was responsible for all concept development, branding, prototyping, visual design, experience design, interface design, usability testing, project management, business and marketing for the app. More info available on request.

Product Hunt for iPhone

Official Product Hunt app. Featured by Apple in the US App Store as well as in TechCrunch, The Verge, Fox, Bloomberg, and more. Product Hunt was acquired by Angel List for $20M.
 

I was responsible for all design of the first iOS app for US based startup Product Hunt, working on the first two major releases of the official Product Hunt app, as well as a heap of minor iterations. The work started with creating the very first Product Hunt app concept designs, and continued on to all prototyping, interface design, experience design, usability testing, quality assurance, interface code, full app software development, and project management for the app.

I worked with Ryan Hoover from the very beginning of the app up until the company secured Series A funding. After the fundraise, the company had enough resources to expand and build a proper in-house product team so I helped transition the app to the new team who went on to develop all later versions of the app. Product Hunt was recently acquired for $20M.

I was responsible for the initial concept, user interface and animation prototyping, user experience design, and final user interface design, and did all marketing, promo videos, press, and business development for the app.  

This app requires an (old!) iPhone 5c and matching case to play the game, so the best way to experience this app now is to watch the 1 minute promo video. There are about half a million views of the promo video alone on Youtube.

I was responsible for user experience design, animation, UI development, quality assurance, software development, and deployment to the US App Store.
