ConnectSolutions is a startup HD video company founded by a group of X-Adobe folks. We are designing interactive experiences for large scale events. I am designing the experience including brand, interaction and visual design.

Our video company was acquired by Yahoo! and we were put in charge of Yahoo! Video. We worked on video solutions across Yahoo! Properties and the design of players, channels and the overall video experience.

We wanted to help people make better video. We designed a fully functional online video editor application and called it Jumpcut. I handled the brand, interaction and visual design, the voice and the overall experience. Jumpcut made video editing easy and exciting while being one of the most successful marketing tools along the way. We won lots of awards and were acquired by Yahoo! in 2006.
