Product Design Across Mobile & SaaS

Two interface systems designed for very different contexts: an emotionally engaging mobile wellbeing experience and an information-dense SaaS dashboard.

The design challenge

One discipline, two very different product contexts.

This combined case study shows how the same product-design principles adapt across form factors and audiences. Affirm turns daily wellbeing actions into a calm, encouraging mobile journey. Flexy organises navigation, profile activity and content-heavy workflows into a scalable desktop dashboard system.

Good interface design is not one visual style applied everywhere. The mobile experience needed emotion, focus and touch-friendly simplicity, while the dashboard needed density, predictable navigation and reusable patterns. Each design had to solve its own product problem while remaining consistent and buildable.

Shared product principles

Different expression, consistent design thinking.

The visual systems change with the user and context, while the underlying decisions remain grounded in clarity, consistency and implementation.

01

Hierarchy before decoration

Make the next useful action obvious, then use visual styling to reinforce—not compete with—that priority.

02

Patterns that can scale

Design repeated cards, navigation, actions and states as systems so additional screens remain consistent.

03

Context-aware density

Use focused, touch-friendly flows on mobile and structured density where desktop users need more information at once.

04

Engineering-aware decisions

Create layouts, components and behaviours that translate cleanly into responsive production interfaces.

Affirm Mobile wellbeing experience interface design
Design 01 · Mobile wellbeing experience

Affirm

A guided home experience for affirmations, intentions, gratitude and short mindfulness content. The design uses a calm night-time atmosphere, prominent daily guidance and progressive sections that encourage a lightweight repeat habit.

Key design decisions

  • A single scroll-led daily journey
  • Large touch targets and clear primary actions
  • Card hierarchy for intentions, gratitude and quick-reset content
  • An emotional visual language balanced with readable content

Design 02 · Desktop SaaS dashboard system

Flexy

A modular dashboard concept for profile activity, social content and broader application workflows. Its persistent navigation, content columns and repeatable panels establish a structure that can accommodate many tools without losing orientation.

Key design decisions

  • Persistent sidebar for a broad product architecture
  • Primary and secondary columns for scannable information hierarchy
  • Reusable cards for feeds, people, media and account details
  • Consistent spacing and action placement across content types
Product design capability

More than polished screens.

These concepts show how product thinking, interaction structure and visual direction work together across both focused consumer journeys and operational desktop products.

  • Translated product goals into clear screen hierarchy and task flows
  • Designed reusable interface patterns rather than isolated screens
  • Balanced brand expression with accessibility and content clarity
  • Considered responsive behaviour and developer handoff throughout
  • Created visual direction appropriate to each product audience

The outcome

Range across form factor, audience and complexity.

Together, the concepts demonstrate range without losing product discipline: a distinctive mobile experience built around emotion and habit, and a practical desktop system built around navigation, density and repeatable components.
