I AM JOE BARBER
I BUILD THINGS FOR HUMANS
MOSTLY ON SCREENS
That's kind of vague though.
I’m a designer. I enjoy making things that people use. Primarily by crafting experiences for web and mobile applications. But I also enjoy things like 3D modeling, product design, and general problem solving.
WORK

Awesomely enough, this project landed me a trip to San Francisco to talk with GoPro's UX team.
As a personal project I redesigned Front Flip's iPhone app.
As a frequent user of Front Flip I've found myself continually frustrated and overwhelmed by it's interface and methods of presenting data. I redesigned the entire app and built an invision prototype for it, along with some Quartz Composer Interaction Concepts
