Hi, my name is Joy. I'm a product designer based in Copenhagen
I was a designer behind a successful start-up like Podio. While I was there, I worked on Podio main functionalities such as app builder, new Podio item and video chat. I am also part of Beagle team where we built an online proposal tool from Podio API. Currently I’m a lead product designer at Graduateland. I also cofounded Megalearn, a Swedish edtech start-up, where I design and build natural science apps for kids.
Joy is a super cool designer who somehow manages to put great UX and art together…

Digital Science Teacher —an app that guides you through mini interactive lessons around science and technology
December 2016 Visual design, Animation, Illustration, Concept development, Research
Fun fact We dicided to make this app as a prototype first so that we can learn if our target users would adopt this way of learning. We ended up make the app in swift and pre animated in After Effects.

- Case study (Soon)
Start with why
Although there are a number of good educational content available, we realised that they are so passive. Learners can easily lose their attention in the same way they do in their classes. So we tried to come up with the idea that we can use our existing technology to improve learning experience.
Small screen
We have found that our target audiences which are middle school students are shifting from iPad to laptop. Most of them own smartphones. Believing that touch screen interaction allow children engage intuitively in learning, we decided to make an app primarily for smartphone users. The lessons in this app should be personal. They are suggested based on children interests and progress at children paces.
Card layout prototype
The first prototype using concept of 'card layout'. Each lesson has only 5-7 cards. Each card has a question and the learners have to actively interact with the cards.
Card layout VS Chat dialogue
We continued working on card interface with various science subjects and later on we realised that when adding questions on cards we tend to add more instructive content. All the visible areas on card mostly belong to the teacher not the learners. While using chat interface, the learner content is more visible. They can tell the digital teacher if they get lost. And the communication is more mutual and natural.

Beagle —Creating more compelling proposals, faster.
2015 - 2016 Product design · Lo-fi and Hi-fi UI · Visual design · User interview
Great work starts with great proposal
Beagle is an online proposal tool initially made for digital agenices. Beagle provide the way to easily create, share, revise and send beautiful proposals. Beagle is made from Podio API. Currently the project is being discontinued however you can see some idea and sketches from the following links.
- Beagle Landing page
- View Design from Dribbble
- My design technique
- Case study (soon)
OnBeagle home page, users can see proposals overview and workflows around.
On proposal view, users can directly edit content and reuse the sections from other proposals.

Podio —Item Redesign
2014 Product design · Hi-fi and lo-fi UI · User Interview
Content, context and conversations in one place
Podio is the productivity tool helping people to manage their projects by allowing them to customise their own workflow. Items are what we call the single pages on Podio: more than 500 million have been created so far, to manage all kinds of work. However the problem was that there were less new users create items.
Podio Item
Item is the generic term for users' content. It could be meetings, contacts projects or sale-leads. They can name it whatever they want. We would like to redesign Podio item especiall our new users.
