Leading a team of 2 designers I owned the full journey through research, exploration, design system and screen design.
From the get go we set out to guide drivers through each step of the journey with ease and confidence.
As Petalite were launching a new product to the market. It was important that we did the right things, this meant gaining trust by delivering high quality design and involving the client team in our design process throughout the project.
Through motion design we communicated each step of the charging process. Our industry familiar colour system meant drivers felt confident throughout the flow.
Design system modules.
Crafted to communicate. Each variant is also adaptable for brand operator changes, like colour and typeface.
The journey map below served as a shared canvas for identifying pain points, moments of delight, and design opportunities.
Through 2025 our work with Petalite helped them gain funding, collaborate with partners and drive their product development. Sadly in 2026, the project has been discontinued.
