Designing a new way for remote teams to collaborate online

Year: 2021 - 2022

Client: Switchboard

Role: Lead Product Designer

Services: Product Design, Icon Design

Switchboard aims to change the way remote teams collaborate in an online space by providing the tools and environments necessary to have spontaneous and collaborative conversations with teammates. Switchboard has secured $38,8 million in funding and has won Product Hunt of the day on 02 May 2022. They have been recognized as one of 20 Rising Stars on Forbes' Cloud 100 list, as well as one of the best inventions of 2022 by the Times, and have won a Webby Award for Apps, dApps and Software Productivity & Collaboration in 2023.

Throughout my time working with Switchboard, I designed various features and maintained their Design System. I worked closely with the Product Manager, Marco Iacono (prev. Samsung, Apple) and their Engineering Team to ensure the designs matched the live product and was kept to a high standard.
