LINKA App Redesign (UX / UI)

Challenge

LINKA, the creator of the world’s first auto-unlocking smart bike lock, was preparing to launch a new digital chain lock alongside a major Kickstarter campaign in 2023, which went on to raise over $244K in one month. As the product line evolved, the existing app interface no longer reflected the brand’s sleek, innovative hardware or supported a seamless user experience.

The challenge was to refresh the app with a modern, intuitive design that could support new devices while improving clarity, usability, and overall user confidence.

Solution

I collaborated closely with the LINKA team to redesign the app experience from the ground up. This included defining new UX flows, wireframing key interactions, and developing high-fidelity UI designs aligned with LINKA’s clean, modern aesthetic.

The work extended beyond static screens to include animated demos and in-app illustrations, helping communicate device behavior, onboarding steps, and key actions clearly within the app. Each design decision focused on simplicity, ease of use, and visual consistency across the product ecosystem.

Result

The refreshed app experience better aligned LINKA’s digital interface with its innovative hardware, delivering a cleaner, more intuitive user experience. The redesigned flows improved usability for both new and existing users, supporting the successful launch of the new product and reinforcing LINKA’s position as a leader in smart bike security.
