Bottom navigation bar in pure Apple UI style → Simple, refined icons, Soft shadows or no shadows.

Interactions & Overall theme : Maintain consistent spacing rhythm, subtle micro-interactions, and polished transitions

Overall aim: harmonious font pairing, ultra-clean composition, and a modern editorial feel

The main home page needed to be extremely simple with an Apple-style aesthetic. I first generated the layout using Anything, which delivered a strong base. From there, I refined it by adding pill filters, improving the spacing, and creating both light and dark mode variations.

Anything → Figma: All mockup screens were combined into a single, well-structured Figma canvas to create a clear visual narrative of the product flow.
