Project overview

Jugo is a native iOS companion app designed to enhance virtual meetings and presentations. The app provides seamless cross-device functionality, allowing users to control presentations, engage with participants, and manage events from their iOS devices.

The Challenge

The challenge was to create a companion app that enhances the user experience primarily on iPhones while ensuring a seamless experience on iPads and maintaining consistency with the web version. The solution was a fully native app designed to be smooth and intuitive, making virtual meetings easy and enjoyable.

The Solution

The Jugo Spaces native app was crafted for both iPhones and iPads, ensuring smooth integration across platforms. The entire design process was managed from concept to delivery, including user testing, while maintaining consistency with Jugo's design system, brand identity, and web platform.

Serving as a companion to the iPad version, the app enhances the user experience by featuring different modes, such as presenter view and remote control, allowing users to easily manage their presentations during meetings or events. These features can be accessed via the iPad, with the iPhone acting as a simplified remote version of the main screen. The app's scalable design effortlessly switches between landscape and portrait modes, ensuring a smooth experience regardless of device orientation.

Technical Approach

We used Figma and its prototyping tools to clearly demonstrate animations and interactions for iOS developers. While following Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, we crafted a unique and engaging interface.

Key features included:

- Native iOS components and animations

- Comprehensive event management tools

- Intuitive presentation controls

The app was designed with scalability in mind, allowing for future feature additions and platform expansion.

Project Impact & Reflection

I really enjoyed this project because I learned so much from my colleagues and deepened my understanding of iOS app design — even experimenting a little with Swift to better design for the platform. I spent most of last year focused on this product, and the collaboration across the team was incredible. We got the app up and running within four months, which was a huge achievement.

Of course, there were some bumps along the way, but the experience was one of the most rewarding I've had. It was a real team effort, and I'm proud of what we built together.

While the company later shifted direction and the app's future became uncertain, we successfully delivered a fully functional, polished product. I'm proud of what we achieved together — and even if the roadmap paused, the experience shaped how I approach mobile design today.
