B-bot

Product Designer & iOS Software Engineer · 2008 - 2009

In collaboration with famed Kid Robot designer Tristan Eaton (Dunny & Munny), the app lets you create digital cartoons of your friends and family based on a unique set of Tristan's illustrations, then set that image as the contact photo in your address book. When you get a call from your friends, you see them as art.

Once we had the concept down, Tristan hand-drew 400+ features like sunglasses, cigars, bunny slippers, 3D glasses, etc. After that, it was all up to me: product design, brand, code, QA, etc.

As the sole designer and engineer, I was responsible for the product strategy, features, UX/UI, codebase, app submission and app maintenance. Built for iPhone & iPad.

400+ illustrations

Efficiently managing them in Obj-C with manual memory back in 2007? It was a thing.
