I'm Alex, a designer with over 10 years of experience, designing for responsive web, iOS and Android applications — Specialising in user-interface and experience design, I have provided innovative and ambitious interfaces, art direction and industry revered design for many of the world's leading airline brands.
I like to keep up to date with the latest design trends, innovations and have a keen interest and knowledge of interaction design. I’m driven by the love to create products that inspire and entertains...
Equally adept at working within teams or solo projects — I have experience managing small teams, leading design processes and projects whilst training others. Having worked in the airline industry I’ve been lucky enough to travel the globe. This has opened my mind to working remotely and I am fully prepared to travel if required.
Projects
- EVA — Star Gallery Inflight Entertainment System.This Inflight entertainment system was designed specifically for EVA Air's brand new B787 aircraft. It runs on the Android platform so it provides a tablet-like experience, with micro-interactions and transitions to well-known navigation patterns. Features include destination based imagery, on-demand video content, interactive map, day & night modes, contextual help, and an inbox, where the crew can deliver personalised messaging and inflight services to individuals.
- P&O Ferries — VR Treasure Hunt.This app provides a gamification environment where users ‘collect’ a small number of virtual coins situated at key locations around the ship (duty-free shop, club lounge, cafes, restaurants etc). The coins automatically unlock coupons, simply for discounts and other incentives for users onboard the ferry. Digital way-finding helps locate the virtual coins and also familiarises passengers with key locations onboard. It brings an enhanced sense of fun, innovation and improved passenger experience
- MUUV Application.MUUV is an app designed to provide movies, TV shows and digital publications to its users — content is downloaded onto their personal devices to watch offline. It's aimed at the airline industry, giving them the ability to link it to a passengers booking, unlocking the content when they're onboard.
- ANA WiFi Portal — Get connected. Stay entertained.This WiFi portal was created to provide users with premium internet connection within an airport lounge or aircraft environment — where they are able to stream movies, live TV, shop duty-free and explore insights into their destination through city guides and video.
- Newsstand — Digital Publication Reader.'Newsstand' is a native Android application designed for exploring and reading digital publications. This is done through an interface that feels natural and intuitive. The user can browse via the 'shelf', change view modes, switch to a dark or light theme for easy reading and save to their device for offline viewing.
- United Private Screening Microsite.Designed as the go-to place for the passenger to find out what entertainment is available on their upcoming flights. Through a powerful flight search tool, we were able to provide them with the latest movie and TV series availability, content showreels with theatrical trailers, audiobooks, podcasts along with information about onboard WiFi availability and live TV streaming.
