vetero
vetero is the weather app for international travelers and the design-minded, weather-obsessed individual. The dual scale temperature concept is intended to make life easier for the country-hopping digital nomad or freshly-landed expat. It features a set of customizable display options and soothing contextual colors mapped to the weather.
vetero is Esperanto for “weather”, and its roots in that language speak to its purpose— it was created to cross borders.
Founder, Designer, Developer
vetero is an independent project released under my Alpha 25 consulting brand. I first developed the concept using Sketch to create a visual language and specification for development. As the need for original iconography emerged, I also hand-created icons to be used in the application and represent various weather conditions. In the development phase, the entire application was crafted by myself in modern Swift backed by unit and UI testing and a full CI/CD treatment. The application was localized using external resources and was released on the App Store supporting 7 languages with several more to come.
Stack and tools
During the design and development of vetero, I’ve attempted to make use of the latest and greatest tools and ideologies. One of my main goals was to create an independent project that speaks directly to my design sensibilities and development craftsmanship.
