Rilli: A Social Tool for Real Life
Rilli is a social tool for enabling, encouraging and documenting real life social interaction.
Imagine looking at a map of your city and actually seeing what your friends and others are doing. Imagine a map of your neighborhood, alive with the activity of people you know and love. Imagine finding a jazz bar just down the street that you never knew existed, or movie club next door that happens to share your love for bad Kung Fu flicks. Rilli reveals urban vitality, reinforcing and strengthening the very systems that power it.
Rilli fills the need for people interested in having more real interactions, creating situations where they can present themselves in real life rather then online. In Rilli you don't get to know someone by their profile, you do it over a cup of coffee - in real life, as a real person. We want to create a tool that lets you nurture and expand your real social network of people you actually do and share real things with. Rilli is not about "fixing" online social network sites as we know them, it's about refocusing on facilitating things that go on in the real world.
I am a designer focused on the way people experience life. I’m out to create work that is innovative, honest and sustainable.
My current outlet for this is as a visual designer, web developer and consultant. To help me along, I use tools like using ethnography, testing and prototyping, web standards, simplicity, and what my mother tells me is a rapier wit.
In 2006 I co-founded Weeza Collective as an international alliance of designers and friends. It's changing quite quickly, evolving into a kind of multi headed hydra.
I am 23 and right now I happen to live in Malmö, Sweden. That wont last. Neither will my age.
I am what you could call a "multimedia designer" but my passions and skills lie in interaction design and branding. I have been doing this for 7 years with over 75 clients all over the world. I also work with photography and I am a co-founder of Weeza Collective.
