We selected a few examples of Jovie's work but make sure to check out his Dribbble profile at https://dribbble.com/bretbardolees for even more inspiration.
Last weekend I started the process to design the Abduzeedo mobile app and web for Android. The goal is to apply Google's Material Design style to the new app, but in order to do that we have to rethink quite a few things.
