Sr. UX/UI/Visual Designer
Designed the first full version of a comprehensive app store for Microsoft. This was an exciting project since I was able to create everything from scratch and designed and built Adobe Fireworks where I could quickly give the Dev's workable CSS code and all assets drastically reducing the coding time.
This project also considered designs for both consumer facing and developer use cases.
Home page
Home page hi-fi wireframe
Phone chooser that automatically filters apps that are non-usable
App detail page
Dev portal matches consumer site in most areas.
User problem/objective
To create a visually appealing and easy to use ‘store’ that gives users access to customer reviews, app insight and product knowledge.
My personal course of action
At the time I designed this solution, app stores were exploding. I therefore used a lot of industry insight and competitive analysis to use as a base line. In keeping with the Microsoft style guide at the time this was my final solution after many versions.
Results/project outcome
Very happy to report this design was very well received and was built to my specifications and lasted years before Microsoft abandoned their mobile app business.
