2016 - 2017
Vehiklo
- Designed a platform for a new project that helps you with choosing the right vehicle for you; I worked on it since January 2016. I designed both the branding part and user interface.
- Helped with the overall concept, branding, and design of the site as well as some of the product decisions. Currently in version 1.0, but other functionalities are coming soon.
- Came up with a unique and futuristic design language that would be a nice starting point for a product category like this—where the design mostly overlooked and where there is a place for something new in terms of how it can help you and also how it looks.
- Designed the interface and overall branding; it is divided into two main colors and six sub colors—with each of them having its own use case.
- Started my design process with first visual concepts that were based from the client's wireframes and an existing prototype and that we further added on new sections.
