Skype Redesign
Medium: Digital
Duration: Five weeks
Skype’s large user base called for efficient pathways to their desired actions in an app that still hinted at their brand identity.
Doing so necessitated a stripping back of design elements and a merging of task flows.
I was responsible for redoing the video call function while maintaining a cohesiveness with the other functions being worked on by others.
