New way to deal with inputs
I wasn't happy with the way inputs are currently used on most applications: When a user clicks an input, the whole screen would scroll up to show the focused input above the keyboard.
Problems:
- disrupts the flow (put the input in a new screen)
- disturbs the user (move the whole screen)
- you might not even see the input you are trying to fill in
Solution:
I imagined a better way to do it, by highlighting the focused input and moving only this element in the middle of the viewport.
Results:
- it doesn't disturb the user
- it make the user focus on the input
- it gives more real estate to show error messages or information text about the action being done
it is also a great way to deal with inputs on tablet or larger screen as it allows the rest of the UI to stay in place.
Let me know what you think!

BlockCircleBlock 1.1: Apple watch animation
Animation is challenging on the Apple Watch with the current SDK. This is video from the WatchKit simulator. It shows the small amount of animation I was able to figure out and how I’m using the Force Touch menu.
There’s a lot of interesting design challenges with the Apple Watch. I’m really looking forward to seeing how others are solving and working with these constraints.
This version is currently in App Review.
How's everyone's Apple Watch explorations going?

"Herbert Bayer / Chromatic Twist" Tribute Easter Egg
Each year, I make a large colorful mess in my kitchen to attract the Easter Shark, (http://goo.gl/qgGiZv) who spreads spring all across the land! He can smell color, you know - that's how he knows to bring the spring time to your neighborhood. I made an extra big mess this year, because I wanted to be sure he brought me some of those sweet, sweet Cadbury Eggs.
Anyway, while I was making the colorful mess, I kept wondering- "How many of my GIFs would look good as egg designs?" This egg's pattern came to me as a sudden burst of inspiration as I remembered my "Herbert Bayer Chromatic Twist Tribute" (http://goo.gl/d7xcB2) design. It had to be made.
"Davidope / 150331" Tribute Easter Egg
Not wanting to be one to disappoint the Easter Shark, (http://goo.gl/qgGiZv) I had to keep designing. It just happens that I was simultaneously inspired to create two new designs based on the work of artists who have improved my life through their wonderful designs. A few days ago, one of my first GIF artist heroes, Davidope, posted this beautiful new design, and I had to make a tribute to it as well.

Audio UI Effect 001
I've been working with lots of audio programs lately and many of UI's are based on the original analog synths with endless seas of knobs and buttons. While this is cool and very powerful, I think manipulating audio could be more explored in a more organic way.
I think the act of applying effects visually to manipulate the waveform would be cool and give direct visual feedback to what you are actually doing to the sound. This will probably be the first of a series exploring what different effects would look like visually.
