Team collaboration: Mobile app interface, Illustrations

A mobile app design exploration for team communication, built around one problem: threads bury important info, and people end up pinging each other just hoping for a reply, with no clarity on what actually needs attention. I solved it by sorting threads by priority and progress, so the screen only shows what matters right now. I also made the illustrations friendly on purpose, since async communication already feels distant enough without a cold interface making it worse.

Love the illustrations!

Same layout but two completely different feelings🙂‍↔️

This is a vault app. The design has one job: make it feel safe to open.

🧮 The red one is alert.

🐊 The dark one is calm.

Which one would you trust with your collection?

Red usually reads as 'something's wrong' rather than 'high value,' so my gut says the dark concept builds more trust when there's real money on screen. Have you tested this with actual users yet, or is this poll your first read on it?
