Daily UI: Day 1 - Sign up

Exploring a sign up flow for a travel app

Goal

Create a flow that emphasizes clean interactions and provides value before asking the user to sign up.

Process

Jumping back into rapid prototyping was both exciting and challenging. I focused on establishing a clear information hierarchy first, then iteratively added layers of polish. This helped me maintain momentum while ensuring the core user experience remained solid. The value-first approach emerged from quick sketches, which I refined into higher-fidelity screens.

Design Challenges

The biggest tension in this project was balancing my desire for polished animations with the time constraints of a daily challenge. While I wanted to create smooth, meaningful transitions that enhanced the value-reveal flow, I had to be strategic about where to invest my time. I focused on key micro-interactions that would have the most impact on the user experience, particularly in moments that highlighted the product’s benefits.

Learnings

This challenge helped me rediscover my prototyping rhythm. It reminded me that starting simple and building up complexity is often more effective than designing everything at once. The time constraint helped enforce better decision-making – each animation needed to justify its presence in the flow.”
