Switchboard

Designing a new way for remote teams to collaborate online

During the height of Covid, teams that thrived in an in-office spaces struggled with zoom fatigue and the continuous issues that came with using video conferencing tools such as repeatedly sharing screens and documents during meetings.

Switchboard aimed to change the way remote teams collaborate in an online space by providing the tools and environments necessary to have spontaneous and collaborative conversations with teammates.

My responsibilities

I worked with the Switchboard team for 1 year and 9 months, during which I designed over 60+ features and maintained their Design System. I collaborated closely with Product Manager, Marco Iacono (formerly of Samsung and Apple), and the Engineering Team, where I ensured that designs were consistently aligned with the business goals and kept to a high standard.

The impact

Unfortunately, in 2024 the company had to pivot 💔, and is now focused on automated web solutions.
