- SKYPE BRANDSkype brand Acting as brand guardians for Skype, helping to grow the business from startup to IPO. One of the key projects was to create the Skype-for-business brand proposition and brand world to enable global growth, market share and awareness. The business-centric illustrative kit and brand world was created as a modular, flexible design system working with the talented Mr. Simon Cook.
- Skype EssentialsA series of animated, ‘how to’ videos that explained product features in a concise and simple manner. With over 8 platforms to cover, this large-scale project spanned 18 months and included working with a very regimented and intricate organisation/delivery process for translating the videos. Original concept UI files were optimised for animation, and composited in After Effects. I was also in part responsible for maintaining and streamlining this process..
- Skype for BusinessWorking in London and Estonia alongside the UX, research and front-end teams — I designed the UI for Skype’s Business Control Dashboard (BCD). From small teams to multi-national businesses, the BCD serves as a core revenue source for Skype — and required a total visual overhaul and smarter UX to accomodate the addition of new functionality. My role was to work closely with the UX lead (the insanely talented Eva-Lotta Lamm) to produce visual design, prototypes and documentation. I was also involved with user testing, legal and research — and worked closely with the front-end teams to ensure quality, animation, and interactions were considered from concept to completion.
