- The problem
- A working VPN service on a generic white-label solution, without a product experience of its own.

- Mapped the flows, then designed a simplified app, web app, micro design system and website on Tabasco’s existing branding.
- The result
- One simple product across devices that has grown its user base and expanded into new markets.

Key decisions
One tap, nothing else in the way
After research, flow mapping and a few different approaches, I landed on a simplified app built on Tabasco’s existing branding.
Trade-offFewer visible options on the main screen, for a connection that starts with one tap.
A micro system instead of a big one
App, web app and website share a small set of components, so BlufVPN feels the same on whatever device people use.
Trade-offOne small set of parts for app, web app and website, instead of a full design system.
