Reuniting families, friends and connecting businesses
Skype
Worked directly on various projects with Skype, bringing the brand to life through pictogram iconography, animation, and supporting the evolution of Skype’s digital product as a business communication tool, including the introduction of live streaming events.
Worked with Albion London as a Senior Designer to develop Skype’s identity across the entire brand, creating a cohesive set of guidelines defining “How We Look” and “How We Think.” These guidelines enabled partners to consistently bring the Skype brand to life across all brand touch points.
