My first job as a UX designer was at a company named Mindybody.

You might not have heard of it, however, they are the world’s largest provider of scheduling software for Yoga studios (they process billions of dollars in sales every year).

I was their first designer and I redesigned their mobile apps and tablet point-of-sale apps (both are modern and decently well designed native apps), however, even today Mindbody still uses most of the stuff in this article for their web experience! It hasn’t changed since they built it in 2008.

Here is an example (close the ad for the mobile app to see the site):

Every time I apply for a job I worry they will think this is my work. [1]

[1] Technically I did design this desktop mobile app. The very first job I had was to adjust the colors and font sizes and replace out gifs on these pages (but the engineers and myself were not allowed to replace any of the underlying html/tables or the VB script that powers — besides a few minor tweaks).
