Killnine/DGTNext Driving Next-Gen UI/UX Innovation.

It’s 2012, and I’m stepping into the role of Senior Director for Killnine/DGTNext, a platform that’s about to break new ground. This isn’t just any tool—it’s a cutting-edge system, much like Fleepboard, designed to transform raw information and posts into a dynamic digital magazine. My mission? Elevate it into something extraordinary for tablet and mobile users, making it adaptable and customizable to fit any client’s vision. I’m here to turn a bold idea into a journey where every interaction feels seamless, innovative, and uniquely tailored.

The first step is the foundation: the information architecture. I dive in, crafting a core structure that’s both solid and versatile, ready to handle the flow of content across devices. Think of it as the skeleton of a digital magazine—posts, articles, and data need a home that’s easy to navigate, whether on a tablet’s wide screen or a phone’s compact frame. I design the IA to be the backbone of this transformation, ensuring it can flex and scale as the content evolves.

Next, I turn to the UI/UX, breathing life into the platform’s look and feel. I design interfaces that take scattered posts and information and weave them into a magazine-style experience—sleek, engaging, and intuitive. It’s customizable down to the details: clients can tweak layouts, colors, and flows to match their brand. I’m shaping screens that adapt effortlessly, delivering a polished, editorial vibe that users can flip through like a digital publication, all while keeping it simple to use.

But it’s not enough to dream it—I need to test it. I oversee A/B testing, launching prototypes to see how users respond. One version emphasizes bold visuals for the magazine layout; another prioritizes a streamlined reading flow. Feedback rolls in, and I refine the design based on real interactions—how people scroll, what they tap, where they linger. The result is a platform that doesn’t just work; it adapts, proving it can turn raw data into a tailored story that resonates.

Then come the templates—the heart of Killnine/DGTNext’s flexibility. I create the main frameworks, these adaptable blueprints that clients can customize to their liking. Imagine a white-label digital magazine: one day it’s a sleek tech journal, the next a vibrant lifestyle spread—all built from the same core. These templates are my signature, blending functionality with flair, ensuring the platform can wear any identity while keeping its innovative edge.

The journey hits its stride as the platform comes alive. It’s more than a tool—it’s a chameleon, transforming posts and info into a magazine that feels personal and professional. Users open it on a tablet in a meeting or a phone on the go, and it’s theirs: a curated, customizable experience that shifts with their needs. From IA to UI/UX, from testing to templates, I’ve guided every step, making sure it’s as practical as it is groundbreaking.

Looking back, 2012 was a defining moment. As Senior Director, I took Killnine/DGTNext and turned it into a pioneer—a platform that doesn’t just display content but reimagines it as a digital magazine, adaptable and customizable for any audience. The journey was about designing, testing, and delivering a vision where information becomes storytelling, one swipe at a time.
