John Irwin Design

Skybox AI

At Skybox AI, I led the product design efforts to create a cutting-edge platform that allows users to generate 360-degree images from text prompts. Users could choose from over 30 visual styles and seamlessly remix images while preserving structural integrity. My work spanned prototyping, design systems, user flows, and the marketing website, helping the platform grow to over 250,000 users in just two years. I collaborated closely with product owners, ML engineers, and developers to deliver a user-friendly experience for image creation, management, and sharing.

Designing for Scale and Usability


As the product rapidly grew, I implemented a robust design system to maintain consistency across features and future updates. This foundation supported a dynamic interface where users could not only generate but also manage, preview, share, and download their creations. My work extended to marketing materials that clearly communicated the platform’s capabilities, helping drive adoption and engagement.

Building a Seamless Image Creation Experience


The core challenge of Skybox AI was designing an intuitive platform where users could generate and manipulate 360-degree images with ease. I crafted a streamlined user flow that balanced creative flexibility with simplicity. From selecting visual styles to remixing outputs and converting flat images into immersive 360 scenes, the interface empowered users while keeping technical complexity behind the scenes.

Collaboration and Iteration


Working closely with product owners, ML engineers, and developers, I ensured the design aligned with both user needs and technical feasibility. Through rapid prototyping and iterative testing, we refined complex workflows into intuitive experiences. This collaborative approach enabled us to deliver a polished product that scaled to hundreds of thousands of users while continuing to innovate with new features and styles.
