Timeline

2023 - 2024

At Versuni, Philips NutriU and Philips Coffee+ existed as two separate apps, each built around different kitchen appliances. The challenge was to combine them into a single, newly branded experience: HomeID.

As UX Lead, I set the initial design direction with a rapid concept that aligned stakeholders early. We then moved through ideation, user testing, and iterations. When a full rebranding landed mid-project, we adapted quickly.

Through a mix of pragmatism and clear vision, the team delivered a successful launch with strong app store ratings.

Inspiring recipes, tailored for every kitchen

From smoothie lovers to espresso enthusiasts, the new app needed to inspire users worldwide. A fresh, unified experience made it easy to explore recipes tailored to personal preferences and appliances.

Rebranding on the go: adapting to a moving target

Midway through development, a new brand identity changed the game. We adjusted the app’s design in real time, keeping the experience fresh, cohesive, and on schedule.

Smart appliances, smarter experiences

We explored concepts for deeper appliance connectivity, making the cooking and brewing experience more seamless. By connecting directly to kitchen devices, the app could send settings and support users with minimal effort.

Behind the scenes: the process

Behind the scenes, the project moved fast. We aligned early with a quick concept, explored directions through ideation and testing, and adapted to a full rebranding introduced midway. The result was a clear MVP shaped through tight collaboration and rapid iteration.

Users LOVED the result
