Mobile Product Design

New Arrival

Created 11 years ago in Product & Design / User Experience

Mobile is not just creating a small version of your web app. Users expect completely different things from a mobile app. They expect short interactions, but more frequently. They expect to get in, accomplish something, and get out quickly. They expect you to follow platform standards. They don't care about breadth of features as much as how you focus and deliver an awesome experience.

I've been making native mobile apps for a decade, more than I can count on all hands and fingers. My company has turned mobile product design from an art into a systematic, lean process. If you need to figure out what you need in mobile, I can help.

I have been creating mobile apps for more than a decade. I am an entrepreneur, an alumnus of Apple in Cupertino, and have a degree in computer science from the University of Waterloo. I am the founder of Monolith, a mobile product development company in Waterloo and Toronto. We created an in-car virtual dashboard and replay app for GM, a chat app for kik, and worked with companies from seed through Series A&B through Fortune 50. In everything I do, it always comes back to this: am I making a great product?

Simon is quite simply one of the smartest guys I've had the pleasure of working with. His ability to think strategically and problem solve complicated (and often conflicting) business requirements is what makes him a go-to person for those challenging projects for which you need to bring in the crack commando team.

I was at Apple during this time and I can vouch for the above. Simon had healthy working relationships with his co-workers, effectively managed the Darwin and Mac OS X on Intel projects in their infancy, and demonstrated a good sense of values.

Simon worked as my intern prior to moving to Program Management. I was impressed with his thoroughness and dedication, and would welcome the chance to work with him again.
