In fact, it's a passion for one specific thing—making those little devices we carry everywhere with us—better.

Here at Yiibu, we seek to understand and put the needs of real people first. We don't just "make things pretty"; we also create products that are intuitive, easy to understand and will (hopefully)—make your customers smile.

Yiibu is going to SXSW '09: music + film + interactive

While we were in Hong Kong back in November we received the absolutely fantastic news that our submission to SXSW has been accepted.

If you’re a web or interactive designer, chances are sometime very soon you will be asked to design something for a mobile phone. This presentation will introduce rapid and flexible design and prototyping techniques to help you test early, test often and create great mobile experiences.
