In 2010, I purchased an iPhone 4. I was fascinated by how powerful a small and beautiful device was – the App Store was flourishing with entertainment and utility, video games rendered console-level graphics and performance, and messaging friends became easier than ever with iMessage and FaceTime.
However, I grew frustrated with some system functionality in iOS. After researching and brainstorming, I created a series of YouTube videos illustrating interactions and features that made iOS more functional than ever.
iOS Concept Videos, 2010-2011
Concepts • Prototypes • Animation
The videos quickly went viral. The jailbreak and greater Apple community appreciated the talent and creativity I poured into the concept videos. The concepts were featured on websites like Reddit, The Verge, MacRumors, 9to5Mac, and Gizmodo. Shortly thereafter, I was honored with a series of phone calls, interviews, and eventually an internship at Apple.
These concepts changed my life and I'm incredibly proud of them...even though they look dated now!
