concept work

The Muppets iphone App

This is a prototype iPhone app I’ve been helping put together, originally designed as a pitch to educate in a fun and engaging way about the muppets.

I’ve had clients from coast to coast and deeply enjoy the intersection of different verticals
and cultures. I view your distance as an opportunity to innovate rather than a challenge.
I translate your creative vision into features, interfaces, sitemaps and usable sites.
