Hello, I’m Chanpory.
I design software and write code.

I believe good designers should know how to:

  • code, in order to get as close to the real product as possible.
  • collaborate, because you can’t solve wicked software problems alone.
  • write, to reflect on your practice and to record new methodologies.
  • teach, to share new knowledge with others.

My Work

home

ZumeLife home page: The initial concept of the service targeted health management organizations and large medical practices. I proposed a direct-to-consumer approach where customers can subscribe to the service directly without a middleman.

review_list

A health coach’s Review List: With 500 or more patients, health coaches need easy ways to keep track of patients who need care. This page serves as a daily “to-do” list and helps a coach focus on patients who require the most attention. An icon system quickly identifies priority levels and actions taken.

patient_overview

A health coach’s view of a patient: Patient health metrics are represented visually.

ZumeLife iPhone App: Customers can record personal metrics and keep track of medications on-the-go.

zuri

Zuri mobile device: Customers who don’t have iPhones can use a Zuri to record personal metrics and keep track of medications on-the-go.

interaction_flow_1

System map: The service would include tools such as an insulin inhaler, blood glucose meter, FitBit, iPhone app, and Wi-Fi scale. Data from all sensors is pushed to a web-based application where friends, family, and health professionals can view the data in order to provide tailored care for the user.

interaction_flow_1

Storyboard: The story begins with Rosa. She’s on a date and uses a location-aware iPhone app to retrieve carb values for the meal she’s ordered.

interaction_flow_2

The app then calculates the right insulin dosage and beams it to her insulin inhaler.

interaction_flow_3

After viewing her blood glucose history, Rosa manually adjusts the dosage and takes her insulin. The inhaler then asks if she wants to order a refill. Rosa confirms and returns to her date. Later in the story, I show how Rosa uses her Fitbit and Wi-Fi scale with the system. I also show how health professionals and clinics interact with Rosa using the service. Illustrations by Yong Kim.

Some example iPhone screens: Booty users can post listings for items to sell, buy, or trade. Businesses can post tailored offers to users based on location and keywords.

Product precursors: Booty combines ideas from previous services such as Twitter for micro-blogging, Loopt for geosocial networking, and Craigslist for online classifieds.

Color variations: The site changes color with each new visit.

fullset

Initial set of icons: I combined simple lines with a yellow dimensional grounding circle to create a bold, graphic, and distinct icon style that resonates with modern operating systems and the Symantec brand.

explorations

Early explorations: Ancient Celtic and Japanese symbols of protection, as well as modern forms, inspired many of my early explorations. Their simple, abstract lines had great flexibility, but the challenge was to update their archaic forms to be in harmony with Symantec’s modern brand.

styleguide

Some pages from the design guidelines: The icon system’s simplicity kept the guidelines from becoming an unwieldy tome of rules. At a minimal 11 pages, the design guidelines showed how to create the icons in multiple sizes, color bit-depths, and platforms.

home

Home page: The new look and feel used energetic colors and dimensionality with new layouts to provide an easier-to-use and engaging experience.

dashboard

Dashboard page

gradebook

Gradebook page: The large amount of data on the site created many information design challenges. The new visual language was robust enough to present information in a clear way.

Report Creator page

laptops

Laptops page with the Find a Review tool opened: The new design reclaimed red as a dominant brand color and established clear hierarchies through consistent typography and color. Gradient, highlights, and drop shadows also added depth, helping to define information clearly.

grid

The site’s grid system: A modular grid system enabled editors to recompose pages quickly while keeping an orderly appearance. The grid also incorporated standard internet ad sizes.

top_5

Product rankings page: I designed different page types and module configurations using the grid system. I also showed how the visual language could extend to tables, rating badges, and icons.

tangrams

Initial suite of product imagery

tangram

Adobe “tangram” and possible configurations: Since all Adobe enterprise products are based on an underlying PDF technology, I used tangrams as a visual metaphor: a set of elements that can be combined to create almost infinite outcomes. Using the angle of their logo, I made a new Adobe tangram.

poster

Elements of the Adobe tangram on a poster: Along with packaging, elements of the Adobe tangram could be used on marketing materials such as brochures, websites, and posters.
