APTNER pass - Design System

APTNER, an IT company based in South Korea, focuses on enhancing residential convenience within apartment complexes. I improved the user experience of its service, APTNER pass, which allows residents to reserve communal spaces and amenities, and developed the design system to provide a consistent user experience across APTNER pass and its mother service, APTNER.

Overview
Overview

APTNER pass is a service embedded within APTNER's app, designed to help residents reserve communal activities and amenities in advance within apartment complexes. As the sole UI/UX Designer in a team of five (Project Manager, Frontend Engineer, Backend Engineer, and pass Customer Service Manager), I was responsible for revamping the user experience for APTNER pass users to v2.0. This involved creating a seamless user flow and integrating a user interface that aligned with APTNER's existing design system.

THE PROBLEM

THE PROBLEM

Inconsistent UI leads to confusing user experiences.
Inconsistent UI leads to confusing user experiences.

Over the past five years, the APTNER mobile app has undergone multiple redesigns, while the APTNER Pass has remained unchanged. As an embedded service within the APTNER app, users must first navigate through the main APTNER app to access APTNER pass. However, the stark contrast in visual design has led to user confusion, creating a disjointed flow and an inconsistent overall experience.

To create a cohesive experience, I utilized the APTNER design system and then developed additional necessary UI components specific to those for APTNER pass's unique features.

Using key design system elements foundational to the APTNER app, such as typography, colors, spacing, dividers, and more, I redesigned the APTNER pass UI to ensure a consistent user experience across both services.


While the APTNER app focuses on residential lifestyle services like parking management and home security, APTNER pass specializes in amenity reservations. As a result, unique features and user flows specific to APTNER pass had to be developed. Following the APTNER design style, I created new UI components tailored for APTNER pass.
