Design Picks #011: Production ready design
This week Dimitar gives us a UX masterclass and Victor shows us new interesting sizes for navbar components.
Handhelders,
I’m coming to you with the best mobile design work out there this week to help you with your current project. Let me know what you steal.
If you haven’t already, check out the Resources tab where we’ll be dropping Figma files, code, prototypes and everything in between to help you design and ship faster.
The Updates
Team invite confirmation by Dimitar
Today we have a tiny success state that earns its keep from Dimitar. That cheeky “Invite more” button turns a throwaway moment into momentum — that are normally dismissed with prejudice.
Crypto transaction history by Studio Sphere
Breathable crypto — who knew? The crisp ‘Received from’ tags and tiny icons turn a noisy ledger into a calm story. Lesson: label the relationship first, then let colour and rhythm carry comprehension at a glance.
Minimal task overview by Pierre Jacquel
A very tame, but professional empty state proves that restraint isn’t laziness; it’s a design choice that keeps focus sharp when nothing’s on the docket. Great work, Pierre!
Fitness progress tracker by Ranjith
Bold backgrounds are a tightrope, but Ranjith nails the balance — the calm blue gradient, clean weekly bars, and positive green details turn steps into a story you want to keep going for.
Night run tracker by Alexander Logan
Liquid glass in dark mode is a cheat code — the classy track line and polished map make the run feel premium without noise. Excited to see more, Logan!
Crypto transaction hub by Victor
Always a fan of small navbars without labels but Victor takes it further and condenses this navbar into a place where not many designers have the courage to go. Paired with some page-level swipe gestures, this app could be great.
Subscription tracker dashboard by Studio Sphere
My new niche is interesting data visualisation, and Studio Sphere just earned a spot in the hall of fame. Always great work coming from this studio — keep it up designers!
That’s a wrap!
