WORK WITH SUSTAINABILITY
THINGSY
APP LAUNCH –
FOR A GREENER WORLD
The Thingsy mobile app is all about your products. It helps you manage your products, extend their life cycle, and recycle them efficiently. As part of this project, I was tasked with the UX/UI design for the Thingsy mobile app to work out the concept, design, and branding of the app and the brand.
The app design was followed by the implementation of the website, a brand guide, and the creation of the pitch deck.
In collaboration with Thingsy, this project was created completely remotely.
UX DESIGN
CONNECT COMPLEXITY
The launch of Thingsy represented a completely new service with which the start-up entered the market. The aim was to easily implement the idea of the circular economy within your own four walls. An exciting challenge in UX design was meaningfully connecting the many complex functionalities.
The app should offer various options for uploading, editing, and managing, as well as additional services such as ordering a recycling service, selling and renting products, and much more.
UI DESIGN
MAKE THINGS LAUGH
Illustrations can breathe life into a rather dry topic – who would throw away a washing machine that smiles charmingly at you?
The illustrations serve as a supporting element to highlight the brand’s vision.
I made the app’s UI language clear and concise so that users can easily navigate through the many features and quickly reach their goals. While the illustrations are colorful, the user interface primarily uses black and white tones with blue accents for clear navigation.
REVIEW
LOVE THE THINGS YOU ALREADY HAVE
Like many designers, it was a valuable experience to work on a sustainable product and advance the idea of the circular economy.
The task of both parts, the UX/UI design for the Thingsy app launch, always brings challenges, especially the ability to let go of your ideas. What seems sensible in UX can behave entirely differently in UI design. However, this process worked brilliantly, thanks to the productive collaboration with the Thingsy team. Illustrating was a nice task and gave the team a lot of joy.
After designing the app, the website was implemented in WordPress, and a brand guide and pitch deck were created. All of these elements, including many other illustrations, went into the project.
