I design. I code. I UX.

Nick & Zeny

Personal Project
Nick Yeh 2015

When a designer falls in love with a dentist, when he decides to stay with her in his rest of live, the wedding becomes one of his most important projects, from logo to website, invitation to venue backdrop. :)

The concept of the logo is to symbolize our initials - (N)ick and (Z)eny. It represents the idea of unity. The Chinese-knot shape is also to respect our families - both of us are originally from Taiwan.

Monsters Inc.

UI / UX / Motion
Citrix Innovation Project 2013

Monsters Inc is an innovative project as well as my first project after joining Citrix as a product designer. Designers here could spend their 20% of time on topics they are interested in, apart from regular product line work.

Monsters Inc helps people to attain balance and flexibility of work and life, by changing their behavior, even slightly, to achieve the goals they set. It works within company network and connects co-workers, the people that see each other all the time and turns them into a support network, that’s focused on change. Monsters Inc also reminds you to log your activities based on time of day and your location and it rewards achievements and motivate you to keep going.

It was a team project of two, my contributions were ideating, high-fidelity UI design, stop-motion-animation, concept video editing, and playing around with LEGO bricks. :)

SmartPark

UI / UX
CMU HCII Service Design 2012

SmartPark is an exciting new Mobile phone app that leverages easily implementable technology to allow people to pay for parking through their mobile phone. It works by scanning a QR code that would automatically pair their car to the spot until they returned.

Parking Administrators can enjoy the benefits of easy management and efficient patrolling as the app will tell them which of the spots they need to check. They also save money by reducing the amount of coins that need to be collected reduce their maintenance costs by converting a portion of the meters to SmartPark signs instead of more costly traditional meters.

Users will be excited to use it because of the many conveniences it offers them. It will eliminate the need to worry about whether your meter will run out and it will make carrying around coins to feed to the meter a thing of the past. It can even find parking for you and guide you back to your car, something no other parking service can do!

HTC HD2

Design Lead

It was the first smartphone with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, the first Windows Mobile 6.5 phone with a multitouch capacitive screen and HTC Sense.

My major responsibility was the HTC Sense user interface, from earlier concept to final implementation. Co-worked with project managers to make sure everything is on schedule, with usability engineers to finalize layouts and flow, with planners to lock down function and features, as well as delivered assets to developers.

[4h] DESIGN

Front-End Coding / Web Design
Nick Yeh 2012

[4h] DESIGN is the predecessor of this current portfolio, designed and hand-coded by me. It contains 42 of my projects from 2007 to 2012.

I recently updated it to catch up with the trend - a flat and responsive web design.

Why I named it "4h" ?
First of all, there are four characters (h) in my legal name (Shih-Hao Yeh). Secondly, if you flip the [4h] logo up-side-down, you will find it symmatrical. Yep, I am a completist.
