In 2010, I partnered with a cross-discipline (BXT) planning team to investigate, explore, and present better ways to keep in touch. I drove official design of approved features through visual phase of release including integration of instant and multi-party messaging (aka “Threads”), groups, and more.

Start screen with group tile, and group card with profile, what’s new, and pictures pivots

 

Messaging app with integration of multiple IM services along with basic text option
