Today I explored an Airbnb search-result card with one question:
When users scan multiple listings, does the card visually prioritize the information that helps them decide what is worth opening?
In the current experience, the Guest favorite badge receives strong early attention, while price competes with other information and rating sits in the same visual zone as the listing title.
In my design exploration, I:
strengthened the title and price hierarchy
reduced the dominance of the Guest favorite badge
separated rating from the primary title
prioritized bedroom, bed, and bathroom details above descriptive property copy
The goal was not to remove information, but to make the decision hierarchy easier to perceive at a glance.
Business hypothesis: clearer listing hierarchy could increase qualified listing clicks and improve progression from search results to listing details.
This is an independent design exploration based on the visible Airbnb experience, not a claim that the current solution is wrong. Real impact would need validation through user behavior, comparison tasks, and product metrics.
When you scan accommodation results, what do you look at first: image, location, price, capacity, or rating?
What if sending money felt a little more like giving a gift?
For Nova, I explored a banking app that brings payments, cards, and a bit of personality together. You can check your balance, browse recent transactions, send or request money, top up, and pay bills.
My favorite part is the digital postcard feature. Before sending a transfer, you can add a little illustrated card—a heart, a birthday greeting, or a playful character. A simple way to make birthday money or a thank-you feel more personal.
I carried that same 3D character into onboarding, pairing it with bold red gradients and large, clear payment details. There’s room for play, while the recipient and amount stay easy to check.
Would you add a postcard to a transfer? I’d love to know what occasion you’d use it for.
Exploring two different hero directions for a new project.
Same message, two completely different visual approaches.
Which one makes a stronger first impression?
Both are strong. I lean towards the dark version, because the orange accent on the italic "guess." pops and the profile portrait gives it a more editorial, confident feel. The navy one reads a bit more corporate, which could suit a more conservative audience. Nice exploration!
