Hello, I’m Patrick Hill, a product designer delivering user friendly solutions to challenging software problems.
I learn, sketch, wireframe, prototype, and code. I use all these skills to translate user needs into usable, delightful interfaces and I have fun doing it.
Exploration for a collapsed menu UI pattern. This is a filter sidebar so the filter labels are important. Instead of going to icons like many sites do when a sidebar collapse I wanted to see what it would be like to simply clip the filter headers so you could still read what each item is and then see the full filter on click/tap. We ended up going a different direction but it was fun to work this idea out.
I finally got around to updating these app icons for darkmode and tinted mode on iOS. The originals were already on dark backgrounds so they worked ok but it feels so much nicer to have them fine tuned for these purposes.
Recreated the Voxie Message Hub web app on mobile. We made platform specific versions using native UI for iOS and Android but ultimately decided to go with a unified design to lighten dev efforts and to keep a consistent user experience across platforms.
An action menu that combines direct actions and links. This tries to differentiate between the two while keeping a consistent style. Actions are more prominent, links more subdued.
Spent the weekend on some UI updates to Stakburn. Made it a little more kid friendly so my son could work on his sight words. Added swipe actions and the ability to tap to hear the word aloud. He likes to cheat though so I had to disable the correct swipe if audio played 😄
A callout card style for the Voxie knowledge base. This site will be all about helping customers with problems so I'm keeping the style minimal. Icon patterns fading into the background with subtle hover animations.
