Client requirements

User persona

Design System

The design system and UI design screens were developed using an agile approach, incorporating necessary iterations. We conducted periodic meetings with our clients to deliver progress updates and address any design-related inquiries.

Creating a better experience

To kick off the design process, quick sketches helped me get ideas on paper to establish which elements were necessary for each screen. A low-fidelity prototype was then created for initial user testing.

A highly curated experience

Planetio has a visually appealing design and offers an enjoyable experience.
