    Meow Wolf
    The Meow Wolf pocket companion is your totally indispensable tool for traversing the Meow Wolf multiverse. I spent around a year as lead designer, with my team helping Meow Wolf to realise their first venture into the mobile market. Meow Wolf had previously attempted to launch a mobile product, but due to eclectic nature of their offering and the many creative visionaries involved, they were unable to realise a clear vision of what that product could be. https://www.twine.net/signin productdesign uidesign uxdesign
    Deliveroo
    Lead Designer as part of the hedgehog lab team to develop Deliveroo’s food procurement platform, connecting restaurants directly to their suppliers. Working within the limits of Deliveroo’s brand, I designed the entire platform developing a consistent component system and accompanying logo to sit within the existing Deliveroo family of brands. Available on both iOS and Android, the platform allows restaurants to search for suppliers near them and compile supplier orders in the same intuitive way that diners order meals from their restaurants. An integrated messaging system also allows restaurants to communicate directly with suppliers and track their order status, incorporating the entire order process within the app. https://www.twine.net/signin productdesigner uxdesign uidesign motiondesign illustration branding
    Stax
    Stax is a concept of my own creation, dreamed up during the pandemic of 2020. Stax is designed to digitise the experience of visiting record shops and fairs in the search of the vinyl you’d love to include in your collection. As a keen record collector, I’ve missed the in-store experience and wanted to think up a way to connect collectors, share their collection and potentially agree to buy and trade. In a world where music is as easily accessible as typing in a search bar the name of an album or song, I also wanted to create a digital experience similar to that when browsing in a store not knowing what you may uncover. In an attempt to bring back the buzz of uncovering that record you’ve been searching for, Stax connects you to other users to flick through their collection and see what they may have to sell or trade. https://www.twine.net/signin productdesign uxdesign uidesign branding motiondesign
