Huddle

I joined Huddle as User Experience Director in May 2010. This means the “My work” section will be updated a little less frequently in the future.

I will how ever add major Huddle work here, eventually. And I’ll continue announcing guest blogging spots and side project as usual.

AoT

Sweden’s top publishing industry magazine, Allt om Tidskrifter, interviewed me about how to create great user experiences on tablets like the iPad. As soon as the article goes online (it’s in the latest print issue) I’ll link to it.

Likemind

I am very happy to welcome a new agency client of mine. Likemind is known for their work with British Airways, Cadbury, Marks & Spencer, Sky and other quality British and international brands.

We’re just kicking off our collaboration, more details when projects get under way and launch.

Think Vitamin

Guest blogging is a lot of fun, and it is an excellent opportunity to talk about my passion subjects with more people.

Starting now (February 2010) I will be posting on a fairly regular basis to one of the web industry’s leading blogs (and a personal favorite of mine) Think Vitamin, together with Andreas Carlsson.

Here are our posts.

Projector

Stockholm-based Projector delivers imaginative work to top brand like Samsung and Adidas. I am involved with the agency on an exciting project that is a bit hush-hush at the moment.

Copybox

Copybox received some well deserved attention after TechCrunch50 in 2008. Earlier this year (’09) Burt hired myself and Andreas Carlsson to improve the app. So far we have reworked the UI and improved the work flow.

It is very satisfying to be, as Burt’s Gustav von Sydow puts it, “making a creative writing tool smarter, better, faster and stronger”. The project continues in 2010.

CodeSlam

“An online code editor with all the tools you need to fly solo or collaborate with others. [...] Easy to get to grips with for coding newbies, and powerful enough to be the tool of choice for experienced developers.”

I am a bit biased – after consulting for the project I am now part of the CodeSlam team – but this is great app with a nice UI that makes work a breeze.

I am part of a team upgrading the web presence of this well known jewelry company. So far our UX improvements have lead to a high triple digit percentage increase in revenue.

More information as the different stages go live.

UX Australia Competition Entry

Conference badges need to do more. That was the premise behind the three designs Andreas Carlsson and I submitted to the UX Australia badge competition.

We received the first honorable mentions, and better still, our competition entries lead to a pitch invite from a large event organizer.

My post about creating “a better conference badge”.

OrchestrateApp

It was great fun being chosen for the dream team (Clearleft, Jon Hicks, Carsonified, Jon Leighton, Mocra, …) that first time entrepreneur Andy Wright had assembled to create his scheduling application.

(I delivered this assignment under the banner of Gray White Black, the agency I co-founded.)
