Skype for iPad

Blending desktop and mobile paradigms

I was the original interaction designer, then design manager for the Skype for iPad client, recognised by Apple in 2013 as the most downloaded free iPad application of all time.

After initial explorations with the tablet form, myself and the team committed to the split view pattern to give familiarity to users of the desktop Skype for macOS application while re-using much of the phone client patterns in the left-hand navigation.
