Design Approach
I developed a visual identity centred around elegant typography, rich photography and a refined colour palette inspired by premium hospitality brands. The interface was designed to complement the brand, using clear navigation patterns, consistent visual hierarchy and carefully considered interactions. A flexible design system was created to ensure consistency across both the brand identity and the mobile experience.
