Fount
In late September 2022, I joined Fount, a wellness and tech startup dedicated to optimizing health and performance for the world’s top performers. As Lead Designer and the sole creative on the team, I had the opportunity to shape the brand from the ground up, driving design for a game-changing business.

The new FlyKitt packaging design features a lighter color palette, for better visual recognition on nighttime flights, and enhanced color capsule callouts. While retaining familiar color names for existing customers, the callouts now include function names for easier pill identification, improving the usability of the packaging.

I designed the FlyKitt App Store screens and contributed to the app's UI. Considering that many FlyKitt users will be interacting with the app during night flights, a permanent dark mode was implemented to reduce eye strain. Bright colors and simple icons were also used for easy visibility in dark environments.
I also designed the FlyKitt app icon, which represents a flight path from departure to cruising altitude with a simple grey line. The line reflects FlyKitt's functionality in aiding the body to transition from a sluggish state to being functional, ultimately helping the user avoid jet lag. Additionally, the icon features a four-quadrant circle in the bottom right corner, the Fount mark, signifying it being powered by Fount AI.
