And here’s how it all came about:

We knew it was about time for a redesign, so last Saturday, a team of designers, engineers and community managers got together to give the blog a facelift.

The team: Markus, Matias, Kirsty, Alex, Ramzi, Cat, Maddie, Gen, Frank & Severin

The mission: Redesign the EyeEm blog from scratch to make it faster, more photo-centric and perfectly adapted to your mobile device.

Morning kickoff: Matias shows the first sketches to Gen, Cat and Maddie

Markus brought fruit to keep us healthy and energized all day long!

Alex, one of our fantastic designers, working hard on the new design.

Kirsty, Matias and Maddie making sure everything looks FANTASTIC!

Frank, Head of Design, had a long night and forgot to take off a post-it from his head.

During the designing and coding part of the day, Severin (that’s me) fixed a bike.

Ramzi, our CTO, made sure that the code behind the new design works seamlessly. He’s the one who pushed the final button to make the blog go live today.

Cat and Maddie from the community team and Gen, our Creative Director, closely analyze the first version of the new blog.
