Dual-brand product system

I worked on a healthtech mobile application that generates personalized skincare routines through AI-powered face analysis. The product needed to support two distinct brands—one more expressive and feature-rich, and the other minimal, editorial, and reduced. As a Product Designer, I focused on simplifying the existing system and adapting it across both brand directions, ensuring consistency while enabling a more minimal product experience.

Impact

The system enabled scalable product design across two brands without duplication:

↓ 40%

↓ 40%

Component Complexity

Reduced number of components and variations while maintaining full functionality

System Adaptability

One system now supports both a complex and a minimal brand

Design Efficiency

New features can now be rolled out across both brands without duplicating effort

Problem

Key challenges:

  • Overly complex component system
    The original app had too many UI patterns, interactions, and redundant elements.

  • Brand mismatch risk
    The minimal brand required stripping down visual noise while keeping usability intact.

  • Scalability concerns
    Changes needed to work without breaking the shared system for the original brand.

  • Efficiency constraints
    Designing separate flows for each brand from scratch would be inefficient and inconsistent.

Solution

I approached the problem by designing within both directions simultaneously—system consistency and brand expression.

System Preservation

Maintained the core structure to ensure scalability:

  • Reused existing flows, components, and logic

  • Avoided introducing unnecessary complexity

Brand Expression Through Reduction

Introduced differentiation not by adding—but by removing and refining:

  • Reduced visual noise to achieve a minimalist interface

  • Elevated typography, spacing, and layout hierarchy

  • Used a restrained color system to create a premium feel

Dual-Layer Design Thinking

Separated the product into two layers:

  • Functional layer → shared across all brands

  • Visual layer → adaptable per brand identity

This enabled the same product to feel fundamentally different without changing how it works.
