Design Snippets

Kinda Fancy, Kinda Casual!

I'm taking a deep dive into the little things that make design exceptional. From small parts of a wider project to competitor anlaysis and critique.

Monzo—Home Screen Critique

iSO App, Screens from Mobbin.

Monzo is a popular disruptor banking provider with over 9 million users. Offering current accounts, joint accounts and business banking. It introduced many new smart features since its launch which has now filtered down into many competitor banks. Here, I’m critiquing their mobile app home screen.

FatFace—Bag, Total Summary Box

Shopping Bag, total summary box on mobile and desktop.

The original version created in 2016, didn’t have a clear customer intent and had dated support methods. The appearance and function were updated in 2022 as part of a site-wide design system update (without changing the core back-end setup). Improving the information hierarchy, introducing payment and security confidence givers and having a clearer focus to start the checkout journey were implemented. These changes saw an increase of +7.5% of customers starting the checkout flow.
