About
From the producer of design .toolbox and 24 Weeks of Windows Phone Design!
Facelift is brought to you by Arturo Toledo, former Microsoftie who drove design evangelism in Redmond for technologies like Microsoft Expression, WPF, Silverlight and Windows Phone. Arturo has reviewed hundreds of websites, Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps and has talked to thousands of developers worldwide.
His design.toolbox, a service with more than 40,000 users, helped developers and designers learn more about experience design. Recently, Arturo and his brother Alejandro published their 24 Weeks of Windows Phone Design which quickly became a de facto read for anyone interested in learning more about Microsoft design style and Windows Phone UI design.
