Overview
StarMe is not another app that helps people connect. It combines the best patterns from taxi booking, meetup and travel apps with AI features — and builds a brand strong enough to set a new standard for the industry. Paul came with a vision and high expectations for the visual side. My job was to make it energetic, memorable and actually usable.
Сhallenge
The challenge was to combine a lot of mechanics into one coherent experience — booking, meetups, social features, AI — without making it feel heavy. And do it fast, with a strong brand identity that users would remember.
Process

Fast
15+ calls with real users. Started at 56% task completion. Finished at 87%.
