Chris Williamson’s Modern Wisdom channel has been on a meteoric rise as the reality-star-turned-podcaster seeks to understand many of life’s complex questions by interviewing some of the most knowledgeable and interesting guests on the globe. All of his content, from 3-minute newsletters to over 800 full-length podcasts in counting, can all be accessed on his website.
This was one of my first comprehensive case studies and my attempts to tackle such a large scale project was both daunting and exhilarating. As an avid (Reformation) shopper, I wanted to transition the browser to an app that optimized the retail experience with seamless scroll-through, effortless returns and exchanges, revisiting saved items, and most of all, eliminate buffer and crashes. As the sole designer and developer, I've revisited this project several times with hundreds of iterations that shadow this behemoth of a project. I'll be honest, as the days turned to months, I began to wonder if this was too ambitious of a project to take on as an apprentice designer, but I refused to abandon ship. Instead, I pivoted to other projects that would allow my pressure valve to release while allowing my creative process to flow effortlessly. I took every setback as a learning opportunity and every incongruent vision with a 'this-or-better' mindset -- all of which has produced this labor of love. But, all good things must come to an end and while this is the final product, it certainly is not the final destination. Thanks for stopping by :)
Some of the workflows or interfaces for this project can be under NDA agreement.
Beauty and function are universal languages and my goal as a designer has always been to communicate this to the user through digestible prototypes.
Good design speaks for itself while great design practically sells itself. Feel free to reach out to me (there's no harm, no foul).
Whether it's a business idea or expanding your personal brand, drop me a line and let's collaborate!
