Yahoo! Mobile

Fresh out of school in 2013 I was recruited as a “very talented junior designer”. My biggest project was to figure out how a notification system could work across all Yahoo! mobile apps.

MY FOCUS

· UX/UI
· Production

 
 

The unified message center is a place for all Yahoo! notifications.

This is just a snapshot of my biggest project.

 

My first project was to think through the UX of the Yahoo! Mobile site.

The main challenge was how to provide an app download experience to users with an unknown platform/device.

Collaborating with the Yahoo! Weather head developer was a great experience.

I explored different weather widget designs, which pulled images from the Yahoo! Weather app.

I was immersed in a mobile web UI refresh of all Yahoo! properties.

 
 

Below are three before and after examples. Layout and typography of components was the biggest challenge.

 
 
 

Here I display article sources with an animation done in After Effects.

 
 

The mobile team was asked to come up with app icon concepts. Here is my favorite set out of the ones I designed.
