DocVerse

DocVerse is creating a new collaboration service that takes advantage of the existing ways people exchange email attachments. Instead of forcing users to upload their documents to share them with others, DocVerse reroutes email attachments to their servers and enable users to collaborate on emailed documents the same way they would do in Google Docs, but from within existing office applications. The beauty of DocVerse is that there is very little for the user to learn, and almost no change to existing work habits.

What we did: User experience planning, Wireframes, Visual design, CSS/HTML

ClerkDogs

ClerkDogs aims to replicate the good old video store clerk experience. The service provides movie recommendations by creating a movie DNA that quantifies the various attributes of each film.

Delve Networks

We worked with Delve to conceptualize and create a user interface that enables video publishers to easily upload, tag, organize and publish their media.
