  • For the latter half of 2009 I was fortunate enough to have worked for Skype as a freelance Art Director. My primary role was UI design for a Skype account management tool.

    Over a 6 month period I worked both in London and Estonia with a small team of designers and developers, which included the extremely talented Eva Lotta-Lamm and Steve 'Buzz' Pearce

  • +UI elements
Iconography

I'm currently re-designing the Skype family of icons - all of which follow a strict grid pattern that I created to ensure commonality accross the suite.

Elements of the Skype UI

A large part of my role was the concept, design and prototyping of UI elements - and also overseeing their implementation.

Working with some of the best designers and developers there are, I had a great opportunity to try and test new and exciting techniques and technologies.
