Winston Privacy

Mobile App for Internet Privacy Device • UX & UI Design

  SUMMARY

At the start of 2020 I was able to work on a really interesting and eye-opening mobile app project with Winston Privacy. This client offers a hardware device that filters out tracking and surveillance from a customer's internet network. With a Winston device, corporations and bad actors can no longer invade someone's privacy or slow down their internet speed with spyware. The customer's internet activity is scrambled across multiple peers, and they are able browse the web anonymously, free of ads.

My team and I created a mobile app for both iOS and Android that allows Winston customers to easily set up and manage their Winston devices from their phones. From the dashboard, users see any potential digital peeping toms who have been prevented from gaining access to their online activity.

It was quite an educational project for me as I learned more about how truly easily accessible a person's data can be on the internet. And I believe in addition to providing clean and visually interesting designs, I was able to help improve the user experience by advocating for users who, like myself, were new to a lot of the techy-network related jargon and would benefit more with clear language, imagery, and helpful tooltips. Below, you can find a summary of features and a selection of the final app designs.
