Team collaboration: Mobile app interface, Illustrations
A mobile app design exploration for team communication, built around one problem: threads bury important info, and people end up pinging each other just hoping for a reply, with no clarity on what actually needs attention. I solved it by sorting threads by priority and progress, so the screen only shows what matters right now. I also made the illustrations friendly on purpose, since async communication already feels distant enough without a cold interface making it worse.
Love the illustrations!
Great work here with storytelling
Sorting by priority instead of recency is such an obvious fix once you see it, but almost nobody builds it that way by default. Did you test this with an actual team, or is it more a concept for now?
Great Work!
Thank you Johnson!
Nice work👏🔥🔥
Thanks team!
Great design
Thank you Sujon!✨
I like the thinking behind this. Sorting threads by priority makes the interface feel much more useful, and the friendly illustrations keep it from feeling too clinical.
Thank you, Kabir! Meaningful words 🤌
Like it!
Thanks Yaroslav!
Collaborations are always fire, great job team! 🔥
Thanks Tan!🔥
Thanks, I create all of them in Figma 😉
I like the idea of showing only what needs attention. Makes the app feel much easier to use.
Nice work!
Amazing! 🙌
nice design
Very nice concept
Great🔥
Sorting by priority and progress instead of recency is the harder call, since it means the UI has to make a judgment about what matters rather than just listing everything in order. That's a real design decision most thread views skip.
Did you test the priority sorting with an actual team, or is this more a concept for now? Sorting by priority instead of recency feels like such an obvious fix once you see it, but almost nobody builds it that way by default. The illustration style pairs well with it too, keeps the whole thing from feeling cold.
Clean work🔥
Nice one Daniel
Looks great !
Stunning 😍
Well executed
beatiful illustrations!
this is the right problem to design around. team tools usually hide accountability inside threads instead of making the next action obvious.
Awesome!
Nice Design

Check it out spec brand identity I've worked on last year for a hypothetical music festival called Sound of Dawn. The festival is set to occur in Inverness, California during the first calendar days of winter (December 20–21 here in the U.S). The dates are important as the main metaphor of the festival is to find light in times of darkness and thus during the typical moment (the first weekend of winter) in which we usher in the cold and darker days, I felt these could be a perfect time for music and community bring us some warmth and light to shepherd us through that change of season.
The identity includes a custom variable wordmark drawn in Glyphs, a symbol, a simple illustration system (little dancing shadows), a photographic direction showcasing the warmth and landscape of Northern California and an overall visual language inspired by the wood sculptures of Northern California artists Vince Skelly and JB Blunk. I also did some preliminary sketching of how this visual language could extend to some to a digital product and website.
I've done my best to describe this here but I do have a more detailed version of the case study on my website cameronburke.xyx as well if you are at all interested.
Selfishly I would love this festival to exist in the universe one day so naturally it seems I shall share this and inspire somebody to go out there and make it happen!!
