The Challenge

SPAR UK required a mobile loyalty app that aligned strictly with their existing brand system, while remaining simple to build, scalable, and intuitive for a broad user base.

The challenge was balancing strong brand presence and rewarding clarity while keeping to developer-friendly patterns.

The Approach

Brand-first, guideline-led design

Every screen was designed strictly within SPAR UK’s existing brand guidelines, ensuring a cohesive and recognisable experience across the entire app.
