HP WEBOS

Senior Visual Designer

It’s a rare and challenging opportunity to be given the chance to reboot a system UI and globally refresh the look and feel of every element. As HP was trying to redefine itself and standout from the crowd, my team strategized to relaunch what WebOS could be. Two things happened simultaneously:, one was to redefine the operating system and create another line of HP laptops powered by WebOS, and the other was to create a style uniquely WebOS.
