Yahoo! Bubbles

Bubbles was an internal skunkworks project at Yahoo!, built inside the Catalyst innovation program: a spatial network that combined location, social, and a real sense of play. It never launched publicly, but it was one of the most enjoyable and formative projects of my time there.

As design lead I authored the interaction design specs for both iOS and Android, directed a small group of contributors, and partnered closely with mobile and web engineers, a product visionary, and QA. It was a proving ground for me as a design leader, and a strong example of taking an ambitious concept from zero to a built, running app across both platforms.

What I did

• Led design across iOS and Android
• Authored full interaction design specs for both platforms
• Directed a small team of contributors
• Partnered with mobile and web engineers, product, and QA to build a running cross-platform concept
