Design and Develop iOS Apps (like LookUp)

When I’m not making apps, I’m baking Pizza, or watching movies.
Happy Halloween!
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.

LookUp 12 is out now! It’s a massive update with three tentpole features.

1. A completely new design

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! 🙃

UI that you’ll want to lick.

Been working on this redesign for LookUp for sometime now. Releasing soon.

A glimpse of one of the biggest redesigns that LookUp has gone through in the recent past.

LookUp 12 is launching this September with iOS 26.

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.

This section of portfolio is coming along nicely.

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.
