I’m a Product Design Lead at PHILLIPS where we make software that is modernising our auction experience. In February this year we launched a bidding engine, iOS app, a suite of live tools for auctioneers and the back office workflows connecting it all. For the last year I’ve been leading agent prototyping for this platform experience, validating our user experience, interaction design and product mechanics.
This website is currently having a new spray job.
Check out one of the websites: Inventory Supplies a database of technical, functional and beautiful products. I’m currently working on improving the imagery using production tweaks.
Another self initiated project made its way into the world this month was a domain I had sat parked for 18 years. Presenting: Typography on Screen a scrapbook for type seen on screen in films and tv shows I watch.
In 2018 I quit Instagram, it’s been a real buzz kill to see what happened to a photography app. Missing that feeling of taking photos and posting them, I’ve been making my own photos area to store stuff. In the background I’ve been going through uploading ten years of snaps.
I keep my photos over here https://lawrencebrown.eu/photos/ and I’m currently in the grunt work phase of manually migrating them from my previous build. There’s also been a small-ish clean-up on my local database too after de-platforming from Google Photos.
When I started out making sites in Dreamweaver back in 2002 I just wanted to get more stuff online. Today, the web has become a place of closed networks and platforms that we don’t get any say on how they work and what implications our loyalty comes with. My goal is to enjoy coding, making, designing and self-publishing anything I might need to refer to later, show someone or document to understand it better myself. Let your internet be wild and findable.
