WE AREN'T YELLOW SMILEY FACES. WE ARE MUCH MORE...

Personelle believes everyone is special - That no two people are alike and everyone has something that makes them different. With the improvement of communication and the growth of the emoji, we believe you are more than just a yellow smile and can say so much more with your real face than a � ever could. Personelle allows you to turn your picture into a shareable emoji.

History & Current Status

Personelle was started in 2016 by Ritzie Williams, a Los Angeles-based UX/UI designer. Modeled after twitch’s chat emotes, Ritzie had the idea to use people’s real faces to express their emotion. Ritzie’s solution entailed a mobile app that allows users to take or import a picture, edit the crop, and easily share it through the device’s keyboard. Ritzie designed the interface to be very familiar to the user pulling references from Snapchat and Instagram while maintaining functionality and ease to accomplish the product’s task. Ritzie designed the product from concept to prototype, then researched app developers in Los Angeles, discovering ITRexGroup. ITRexGroup stood out because of their competitive price as well as notable products - Rad Pad, Dollar Shave Club, Dog Vacay. Ritzie reached out to get an estimate on pricing and development time. Ritzie was quoted ~$15k and 6-8 week development time. This is where we are now…
