Over the weekend, I spent some time exploring the newly updated Canva to see how much it has evolved over the past year. Out of curiosity, I tried redesigning the Coca‑Cola logo using only this simple yet surprisingly powerful tool, just to see how far it could go.
What started as a quick exploration turned into an interesting exercise in reinterpreting a globally recognized identity while still respecting its character. It was also a reminder that sometimes the tool matters less than the thinking behind the design.
Curious to know what you think of this ideation outcome!🧠

Design Tippani of the day Pt 5: One small habit that improves my UI design process.
Before finalizing any screen, I ask one question:
“If a user saw this for the first time, would they know what to do next?”
Clarity almost always wins over aesthetics.

Design Tippani of the Day Pt 4:
Users don’t read interfaces.
They scan them.
Design for scanning, not reading.

No design tip today, just a quick question. If a coffee brand wanted to stay rooted in its rich cultural heritage while still feeling relevant today, which logo would you choose and why?

Kwality’s Coffee Rebrand: Collaborative Semester Case Study
This was a conceptual rebranding project for Kwality’s Coffee, a Bengaluru-based heritage coffee brand established in 1950. The project was completed with two fellow designers, where we researched, explored concepts, and developed a refreshed brand direction.
Our approach focused on creating a vintage yet modern identity through logo redesign, thoughtful typography, a coffee-inspired color palette, and a cohesive visual system for digital and packaging.
The goal was to reflect the brand’s legacy, craftsmanship, and quality while making it more relevant for today’s audience.
This is just PART ONE! 🚀 ☕ ♥️

My tippani of the day:
Whitespace is not empty space.
It is what allows important elements to breathe and stand out.
What say?💯 ? Nah?

What I look for when designing a new interface design:
Whenever I start designing a product, I focus on three things:
• Clarity – Can users understand it instantly? ⁉️
• Hierarchy – Does the layout guide attention?👑
• Flow – Does each step feel natural?🫗
Design decisions should make the product easier to use, not just nicer to look at.
Something I .earned while Designing Interfaces:
One thing I’ve realized while designing products: Users rarely struggle because of COMPLEX features, they struggle because of UNCLEAR interfaces.
Clarity is often the most powerful design tool.
Keep it complex, but always be CLEAR.
Drop in your insights as well! 🚀🧠

Before vs After: Improving a Coffee App Interface
I recently explored how my old design could be made a gazilion times better and could be simplified through better hierarchy and spacing.
Before
• Dense layout
• Weak visual hierarchy
• Hard to scan quickly
After
• Clear grouping of information
• Improved spacing and typography
• Faster visual scanning
SMALL design decisions can make a BIG difference in usability.

Good design does not happen by accident. Every project I work on follows a structured process that keeps ideas clear and decisions intentional. Since I am currently open to new projects, I thought I wou:ld share how I usually approach a design problem.
1. GET the problem: I begin by identifying the product goal, users, and what their approach looks and tastes like.
2. INSPO n research: I review competitors and design patterns to see what works and where we can improve.
3. PLAN before visuals: Wireframes define layout, hierarchy, and user flow before aesthetics.
4. THE design: Once the structure is clear, I design the UI using the basics: spacing, typography, and visual hierarchy to create a clean design.
5. ITERATE n refine: Design improves through feedback. Refine, deliver, REPEAT until you agree upon the final design.
