Günther Beyer is a UX architect and man of pixels who makes strategy and design play nice.
Nino Rapin is a content strategist, information architect and word lover.
Together, they are half of Opoloo, a tiny, independent, headstrong digital studio in Germany. They care about crafting great experiences for the Web and Android.
All too often we forget that applications are built by real people with opinions, ideals and fears. When a whole company is formed around a single product that’s about to get relaunched, there’s a lot of tension — after all, these people rely on that product’s success for their own financial security. This is the story of redesigning the UX for a popular calendar tool on Android: Business Calendar. Günther Beyer & Nino Rapin are sharing this story because everyone’s standing on the shoulders of giants and this is their small contribution to better information design thinking. They hope they’ve learned enough in this project to make you a little smarter, so that you can make us smarter in turn. Thank you.
