An Easier Way to Shop

The existing app had become unnecessarily complex, and customers could reach checkout only to discover that a gift card was no longer available.

We redesigned the shopping and checkout experience around a more intuitive flow, introducing a timed cart, clearer payment options, and promotional codes to make purchasing easier.

Connecting savings to location

We wanted to help members discover savings while they were out shopping, using location-aware notifications to surface relevant deals and remind them to use their gift cards.

I designed a permissions flow to introduce these features and guide members through enabling location access and push notifications.

Same product. Different platforms.

Rather than creating identical experiences across iOS and Android, we embraced each platform's native design patterns and visual language.

From navigation and interface components to typography, color, and illustrations, I tailored the experience to feel at home on each platform.

A playful introduction

I created custom illustrations for the onboarding experience, introducing Raise's benefits through a playful, approachable visual style.

Subtle parallax animations brought the illustrations to life as members swiped through the introduction.

Bringing the app to market

Beyond the product experience, I designed App Store marketing screens to introduce the redesigned app and highlight its key features at launch.
