My Role

Lead Designer

Working together with the CPO and Development team

I lead design efforts on all platforms since the early stages of the company and ensured a great and consistent experience on all devices. From September 2013 we started out with translating the current iPhone App into a full Web app. Later we overhauled the iPhone app and added a iPad version at the same time.
