Impact
As founding product designer, my role was to build our design system and brand, and design a unique yet familiar mobile dating app experience. I worked extensively with engineers daily to drive updates quickly.
Designing meaningful connections
My focus has been on fostering meaningful connections with a purposeful approach. Anchored in the mission to create the next million meaningful connections, I delved into extensive research to understand the nuances of human connection.
Guided by our mission, I shaped the brand’s voice through slogans like “Jump into something new” and “Jump, shoot your shot,” ensuring that every element resonates with the genuine desire to bring people closer.
The heart of Jump is its vibrant bunny mascot, symbolizing the warmth and energy of connection. The logo was crafted not to showcase design prowess but to embody a modern and inviting aesthetic anyone could connect with.
Taking inspiration from successful mobile games, I introduced a gamified experience to make connecting more engaging. Users can earn and spend Jump Coins without hitting paywalls, keeping it accessible for everyone.
Inclusivity is paramount, reflected in the introduction of dark mode: a simple yet purposeful addition that makes the app more accessible and user-friendly. The entire design system, with its soft components, was built with empathy to enhance the experience.
Jump is not just an app; it’s a purpose-driven platform aiming to make connections accessible to everyone. It’s about creating a space where people can genuinely connect without barriers, and my role as a designer was to shape an experience that aligns with this mission.
