Portfolio
Shopify is one of the world’s largest commerce platforms allowing their users to quickly create, grow, and manage their online stores.We had the pleasure of working with them to help architect and rewrite their existing Arrive app which was previously available on iOS only. Using React Native, Typescript, and the Apollo GraphQL client, we established best practices for adopting React Native within Shopify and also helped on-board new developers to the platform.Arrive is a tracking app for online purchases that allows customers to receive notifications at every step and is now compatible with both iOS and Android.
Bitstrips (now owned by Snap Inc.) lets users express themselves by creating personal cartoon avatars to share with their friends through Facebook and mobile chat apps. As part of an effort to increase their presence on mobile, we built several iOS and Android prototypes that allow users to display high-quality stickers of their avatars in chat applications like WhatsApp and iMessage.The goal of the design was to make it as simple as possible to share a Bitstrips emoji, or Bitmoji, as it is to pick an emoji. I collaborated closely with the CEO and product team to craft the experience into one that felt native and natural. My work laid the foundation for what would soon become the Bitmoji app.
Findspace empowers property owners, managers, and brokerages to manage and market their commercial real estate portfolio through a host of integrated applications.We were initially engaged to help them build a lead-tracking iOS and Android app using React Native; this app helps brokers close deals quicker while on the go. We have since taken on the ongoing development of their backend CoRE application using Django / Python and GraphQL.
We had the pleasure of working with Hush, a cosmetics startup based out of Los Angeles, to bring their mobile marketplace to the Android platform. Within a few short months, we created a native Android shopping experience that is as beautiful to look at as it is easy to use.
