As a graphic designer at Auckland Transport, I have designed for all mediums - print, web, mobile and video. For the last 5 years, I have also contributed to the transition of an AT Design Studio based exclusively on print, to other areas like web + video + mobile. I have also been involved in the AT Sprint Sessions, whose main purpose is to discover and explore new ways of creating a more beneficial experience for our customers - either by improving existing products or designing future ones.
As a graphic designer at Auckland Transport, I designed for all platforms including print, web, mobile and video. For the last five years I worked on different design projects, helping AT after a major rebrand - as the company was growing more than ever. Being part of AT Sprint Team I was also involved in workshops about developing future products or improving existing ones (AT Mobile app / AT HOP Card app, Wayfinding signage) aiming to deliver a better experience to our customers.

After designing the logo for his company Peerpoint, Jason Brown asked me to give designing the app UI a try. As the developing stages were coming to an end, Jason starting showing concerns toward the final product. He and I agreed on trying out a few experimental layouts first, which at first showed potential. The final result can be seen above. 2019 Update: after few years on the iOS Store, Jason decided to discontinue the app and move on with other projects.
