🚀 FEATURED AGAIN.
THE INTERESTING PART IS WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE UI.
Traveling Up was the first mobile concept I created purely for myself in almost three years.
No client brief.
No existing product.
No predefined feature list.Just one observation from a short trip:
🌍 Most travel products start by asking where you want to go.
I wanted to start one step earlier.
How do you want to feel?
That single shift changed the whole product logic.
✨ Destination search became mood led discovery.
⏳ Time became part of the recommendation.
🎲 Uncertainty became part of the experience instead of something the product had to remove.
That became Traveling Up.
And now Contra has hand picked the project for Featured and placed it in the AI Projects section on the homepage.
The most interesting part for me is not the feature itself.
It is how often the strongest product directions begin before the interface.
In the framing.
In the question.
In understanding what the user is actually trying to experience.
That is the kind of work we keep pushing at Asol Design.
Not just better screens. Better product decisions before the screens exist.
If you are building a mobile product and want more than polished UI, if you want stronger product thinking, sharper UX direction and a visual system built around a clear idea, let’s talk.

🎛️ TASTY TEST 05/30
No growth insight today. Just playing with mobile app design and making digital music feel a little more physical.
Same music app. Same record. Two ways to explore it.
💿 A PULL ONE OUT
Browse the crate, explore formats, and make the collection part of the interaction.
🟥 B PICK A SIDE
One record takes over the screen. Cleaner, bolder, more graphic.
One direction is about discovery and tactility. The other is about focus and visual impact.
No metrics. No right answer. Just a playful mobile UI and interaction design experiment.
Which one do you prefer, A or B? And why?
❤️ Like it if you want more experiments like this.
Follow me for more mobile app concepts and product ideas.
Which direction would you want to play with first?

A! super smooth work🙌
Just came across this website and really liked the way they’ve combined clean design with immersive interactions.
The smooth animations, typography, transitions, and product storytelling make the whole experience feel premium without being overwhelming.
Website: otsuka-air.jp
What stood out to me:
• Smooth and thoughtful interactions
• Clean visual hierarchy
• Strong product storytelling
• Minimal yet engaging UI
• Great use of motion throughout the experience
Would love to know what you guys think about this design approach.
What’s your favorite detail on this site? 👀
Amazing!
Thaw — AI Mental Wellness Platform Landing page
Designed the landing page and dashboard preview for Thaw — an AI platform that tracks anxiety, mood, and burnout, framing emotional buildup as frost that gradually melts through guided sessions.
Mental health apps tend to land in one of two places: too clinical to feel human, or too soft to feel like it takes anything seriously. So the whole design leans on one strong metaphor instead — a head encased in melting ice — and lets oversized typography wrap directly around it for real visual weight.
Below the hero, the dashboard preview does the harder work: mood stability, anxiety signals, sleep quality, and a specific AI-detected insight that makes the product feel genuinely perceptive rather than generic.
A warm dark palette with cool blue type keeps the tone serious without tipping into heavy.
