🧩 THE CHALLENGE The biggest challenge was balancing technology with simplicity. The app had to support multiple drink configurations—like temperature, strength, ingredients, and custom recipes—without overwhelming the user. Another key consideration was the brand vibe. JumpStart wanted something stylish and intuitive, but not too minimal or sterile. It had to feel fresh and modern, yet still accessible to a wide audience. Finding the right visual language, interaction flow, and overall tone was essential to bring that balance to life.
