Windows Marketplace for Mobile

Created a customer facing application for Windows Phone 6.5 users to purchase applications through a website and view their inventory of previously purchased items.
The biggest challenge was only showing customers the applications that were compatible with their phone. We accomplished this by creating a phone selector in which users could easily identify their phone by displaying product images and narrowing down results before the users attempt to make a purchase.

Poindexter Pale Ale

With a name like Poindexter Pale Ale, the status quo is just not acceptable when it comes to design and packaging. This fictional microbrew needed intelligent, above-average design.
