Above/ The Prevue homepage, relaunched in 2016
In 2007, as a freelance designer, I was having trouble presenting design concepts to my clients in the browser. Sending JPGs over email, or presenting from multi-page PDFs didn't do a great job at showing my work to its full potential — plus email was a terrible way to gather contextual feedback. So I built my own solution, Prevue.
Through constant progression, iteration, reinvention and plenty of late nights — I took Prevue from a side project to the profitable concept sharing and feedback platform for over 30,000 designers and agencies worldwide. Up until its acquasition in early-2018 it was a project built and managed solely by myself.
Above/ The original "Library" used to share my work with clients 12 years ago. Below is the same library view today, with projects and client groups.
Below/ I wanted the interface to feel as close to a native design tool as possible — so all interactions are drag-and-drop, in addition to having traditional fallbacks.
Above/ A publically shared project. The guiding principle of Prevue has always been to make shared work look as impressive as possible, and to encourage feedback.
Below/ Everything in the app is optimised for ease or organisation, and for real-time client feedback. Projects can be commented on, images can be highlighted and annotated — then all feedback is collated, and can start a conversation thread
