Cover image for The first time your onboarding
The first time your onboarding asks for money, it should feel like a thank you. I designed this concept for a subscription app's onboarding. I wanted the offer to feel like a member perk. Six slices, every one a real prize. No "try again" filler. The win screen gets the same care as the invitation. The winning slice turns cobalt and the button changes to the prize. The copy says what the user won. I gave the wheel a physical rim and a neutral hub, so it feels like an object you can touch. You can read every prize before you spin, and the terms sit below the button. The user will forget the discount. They'll remember how the ask felt.

Cover image for Most profile screens bury everything
Most profile screens bury everything in a settings menu. I designed this one differently. A pencil on every card. Tap it & a bottom sheet opens. The background stays visible. You can still see what you're editing. One field. One save. Most apps make you leave the page to fix a typo. I didn't want you to.

Zero context.
The empty state
Zero data. Zero context. The empty state is the only screen where your app has nothing to show & everything to prove. I designed the first 3 screens of an AI CRM app around one idea. Good onboarding doesn't just show off features. It anticipates anxiety and eliminates it, step by step. Each screen answers the one question the user is asking at that very moment.

Cover image for You know exactly what to
You know exactly what to type into your own search box. A new user doesn't. They open it and see a blinking cursor. Then they have to guess what your app can do. I designed an empty search screen for an AI food tracker concept here's what I put in it (if you want to steal it). Example questions at the top, like "High-protein dinner, 600 kcal". Those 4 words tell a new user more than a blinking cursor does. Recent searches, but only once there's history. A new user has none. A few big buttons for people who'd rather tap than type, like Breakfast and Dinner. Barcode scan pinned to the bottom, where a thumb can reach it. Clear your history, log out of your own app & open search. If you wouldn't know what to type, neither will they.
