StudyBlue Redesign

Starting with the relaunch of the marcom site and other product/marketing initiatives–such as Class Stats, Study Guides, mobile quizzing and SEO display screens–a beta release of the new StudyBlue is live!

All platform apps (web, iOS, Android) have been overhauled in terms of brand identity, visual and experience design–plus some very nifty back-end and code updates that have radically improved performance.

Here’s the new design direction, and here’s what TechCrunch had to say about it all recently.

New StudyBlue Android app

Redesigned and completely rewritten to compliment the most current Android UX patterns this was my first assignment at StudyBlue. I got involved during the last phase of the project and worked to help iron out kinks, update graphics and help the launch promotion.

I got to test out the new app, and I like how easy it is to use.

iOS design, am I seeing things…?

Working on the final pieces of the entirely redesigned SugarSync iOS app and feeling like things may be getting a little too seasonal. I’m happy with the flatness of the UI here but the colors are making me think… St. Patrick’s Day (and me a fervent Scotsman)!

Design for Android

The new SugarSync Android app is a richly functional mobile experience with all the updated branding and user experience that I’ve been working so hard on (see previous posts).

If Android is the future of mobile then this app is the future of mobile cloud services! If you’re Android-enabled take it for a spin and let me know what you think.

SugarSync 2.0 goes GA

The SugarSync redesign is out in the wild for real (post public beta) and as Senior Designer I am very proud of the way it has all turned out!

If you’d like to check it all out you can get a 5 GB account and all the mobile apps you’ll ever need. Customers and commentators are loving it, let me know what you think in the comments below.

Here’s a company blog post and press to date (highlights include: PC World, PC Magazine).

SugarSync for iOS

Working on a spangly redesign of the SugarSync iOS app that’s heading for prime time very soon. The new design, along with the new Android release brings the mobile apps in line with the overall product redesign.
