DESIGN CHALLENGE

Launch-ready startup KEYS teamed with Studio Soren to design App Store and Google Play preview screens that encapsulate their mission: bringing neighbourhoods closer with a focused, digital-first approach.

KEYS’ vision rested on five core pillars:

  • Feed

  • Polls

  • Community News

  • Building Updates

  • Create Committee

The goal: weave these features into a compelling visual narrative that’s on-brand, clear, and inspiring.

Initial explorations leaned heavily on vector illustrations. As a team we refreshed their brand identity.

We shifted their social assets to a hybrid style, melding human-centric photography with clean, structured vector UI. Five high-fidelity mobile preview screens were crafted, adhering to Apple and Google’s design specifications. We also developed tablet variations to ensure consistency and flexibility across platforms.
