Drew a new custom icon that matches the spooky vibes for today. (and, changes to bloodied fangs in Dark Mode) :P

This summer I did something different for LookUp’s major update.
I broke it down into making multiple fake apps i.e. small prototypes that did just one specific thing while scaffolding everything else through rudimentary screenshots.

Blending Apple's design philosophy with my own understanding of the software design. LookUp's design process was intense, but rewarding.

2. Learning Modes that help people build vocabulary through examples & conversations
3. Origin Maps that help traverse a word’s history.

Made some fun, interactive loading states in LookUp. They feel like they’re gliding atop of liquid glass.
With AI sometimes the speed of output can be slower than traditional API calls and no one likes to keep waiting, but if one must, might as well have some fun with it! 🙃

Search is so much more faster with LookUp 12.
Redesigns aren’t just about visual veneer, they should make the product better in meaningful ways.

I started researching on context about a year ago, and have wanted to write this post for that long. I think I finally have something meaningful to say. Just finished this ~2000 word post that also has a lot of visuals. Hoping to post it next week.🤞

Throwback to when I wrote a mini research zine on designing pizza ovens, for my class in Berkeley.

Had friends over for Pizza the other day, made an eclectic bunch, and then made some Naan for dinner from the left over dough. 🙃

I once got a rejection email that went something like this: "Very cool that you met Tim!... However, we've chosen to move ahead with other candidates." 🙃

Some people have asked if my thesis videos are TouchDesigner, or AfterEffects visualisations (perfectly valid way of prototyping visuals).
They're not, this is a completely functioning works-like and looks-like prototype.
