Hello. I’m Sean.

Passbook is the first physical Remitly product. I designed the debit card, and in the process learned about plastic card manufacturing, technology, and personalization.

Naming is hard. When I joined, my first responsibility was to lead an identity project and create the visual design system.

I lead product marketing using design thinking, applying it to creative direction and execution.

Tagboard became an essential part of the social media ecosystem, providing a safe and easy way for organizations to display user-generated content in branded experiences, both digitally and in real-world venues.

Tagboard’s visual identity needed to strike a balance between trendy and timeless. I created a mark that integrated the hash symbol (#) and a lowercase T. I also created an accompanying brand guide, which included tone of voice.

↑
Humble beginnings. I built the Tagboard prototype in a weekend using a CMS and some extensions. We used it to pitch to investors and potential new hires, as well as to our first customers.

Capture solved the problem of missing a special moment because the video camera took too long to launch. I designed the icon to mimic a physical record button, and the UI to do its job and stay out of the way.

Canned was a way to create reusable templates for text messages. We used mostly system UI, but I designed a custom control and UX for adding a specific recipient.

←
Quality social media was being drowned out by noise, so Starbird was a way to follow people’s favorites instead of their tweets. I designed a fullscreen card interface and horizontal swipe interaction experience.

↑
I designed, built, and managed dozens websites for the church’s ministries and campaigns.

← ↓
I was responsible for creative and art direction for book and CD covers, as well as for events and sermon series.

I helped design a campaign to invite an open conversation about Jesus, the most controversial figure in history. I built a webapp which allowed visitors to anonymously fill in the blank, share their answer, view others’ answers (after they had been curated), and agree or disagree with them.
