Project
Financial Times for iPad
I led a small design team to create the initial launch of Financial Times on the iPad, which won an Apple Design Award in 2010.
As soon as the iPad was announced in 2009, the Financial Times knew they wanted to be among the first news agencies to launch an app for the new platform. In three frantic weeks, I led a team to design the first edition of the app, collaborating daily with a small editorial team in London.
The iPad had not yet been released to the public, so we created a crude proxy out of cardboard and tape, which gave our team a feel for how our ideas might work on a device we knew very little about. The app won an Apple Design Award and was mentioned by Steve Jobs on stage during an Apple keynote in 2010.
