Time Out

Making Premium Profiles Possible

The Premium Profiles Dashboard for Time Out London, Paris & New York was a web application exclusively designed and front-end developed by myself for this cultural, well known magazine and website.

My role was to listen to the requirements of the product team, create a concept, design the user experience and UI, and development using the AngularJs framework, all based upon iterative feedback and agile processes.

Viewed as a primary business venture for the company, the result was a polished product with a full London and Paris launch within one year and New York soon to follow.
