About
Hi there, I’m David, product designer currently at Frame.io,
where we centralize the collaboration process for content creators. It’s an incredible gig, and I feel really fortunate to be a part of this inspiring team.
Before Frame.io, I worked as an interaction designer at a startup called Bumblebee Spaces, where
I designed the iOS app controlling the Bumblebee robot modules. This site shows some highlights from
the products that shipped. For a comprehensive portfolio and detailed case study,
feel free to connect with me through email.

Bumblebee is a modular furniture system that stores your belongings and bed in the ceiling, freeing up space for work, leisure, exercise, and activities. Their website overviews how it works across different spaces.
I was responsible for architecting and designing the entire mobile app with the goal of allowing tenants to seamlessly control their space, preview their items, and personalize their system.
The minimal layout of the app is driven by placing crucial features front and center, reachable with one hand. Modules can be moved by a single tap, and a prominent pause button shows up whenever movement is detected.

Safety guard rails and protocols are built into the system and core to the app. Alerts are designed to focus the resident’s attention and present clear steps to resolve the anomaly, without seeming jarring.

The result is a scalable and simple app experience that tenants used daily to control their Bumblebee. The app also compliments Bumblebee’s ecosystem of touchpoints, from wall control to voice, delivering a seamless experience our customers need. See the app on the App Store

While I was at Propelland, I worked in the team commissioned by Bank of the West to redesign their mobile app. The result is a simplified banking experience with a rejuvenated look.

As the designer responsible for revamping the interaction and visual design, I leveraged elevation, gestures, and type hierarchy to achieve an app experience that felt more fluid and easier to understand. More vibrant colors were also used to convey an energetic and inviting tone.
The new design system features playfulness, tactility, and glanceability. Forms and type treatment are prominent and inviting to touch, while still retaining the vibrancy of Bank of the West’s brand.
