RUNR explores the future of vehicle UI and branding.
This is a project with three deliverables - The Figma component library, the branding guide, and the four device screens which apply the design system.
Components
After building, using, and maintaining a library of Figma components, I will apply this design system experience to all future design projects for a more cohesive look & streamlined prototyping process.
Branding Guide
To create the RUNR branding guide, I thought about what direction the vehicle industry is headed and what needed to change to appeal to a younger audience.
Design System
Applying my design system across desktop, mobile, tablet, and watch dimensions, I have a new appreciation for minimalist designs that maximize flexibility and easy customization.
