Case study
Overview
Race Yourself is a cycling companion app. It records every ride, then lets you take on your own previous times on the same route, so the rider to beat is always the one you were last time.
The challenge
Everything had to work on a small screen, on a moving bike. Speed, time, distance and how far ahead or behind you are all matter at once, and none of it can be hard to read or fiddly to reach.
The approach
Working closely with the client, I set a clean visual direction (dark screens, one bright accent, large numerals) and a lightweight design system built for mobile. Each screen leads with the few numbers that matter mid-ride and keeps the controls big and simple, so riders can stay focused on the road.
Outcome
A focused app that does three moments well: starting a ride, reading it at a glance, and seeing how you did against yourself.
