ConnectR — be the person who always follows up.

Three friends laughing on a rooftop at dusk, connected by glowing green network lines — ConnectR's 'electric human moment'

The
overview.

ConnectR is a relationship-first networking app for the people whose livelihood depends on who they know — salespeople, founders, creators and anyone who meets new people all the time and can never quite keep up.

The brief was the whole front of the business: a brand from scratch, the product's interface, and the launch presence to put it in front of early users — all before a single line of marketing copy existed.

A complete identity, the iOS app's UI design system, a story-driven launch site and a TestFlight beta funnel — one electric-green world, from app icon to early-access signup.

The
challenge.

Nobody wakes up wanting “a better contacts app.” The real problem is emotional — the quiet guilt of the follow-up that never happened, the name you forgot, the opportunity that slipped away.

So the work couldn't just look good. It had to name a feeling people recognise instantly, then make the fix feel effortless — across a brand, a product and a launch, all consistent enough to feel like a company that already exists.

The idea

The spark is human. The follow-up is the app.

Every asset leads with a real moment between people — then a charge of electric green marks where ConnectR steps in. The brand sells the relationship; the product just makes sure it survives the next morning.

One mark, charged up.

The identity fuses a “C” with a forward-pointing send arrow — connection plus follow-through. I explored it across finishes so it holds up as an app icon, a favicon and a glowing hero alike.

product palette.

The app lives in the dark — layered near-black surfaces so a single brand-green accent can carry every action, state and highlight. I defined the whole token set so the interface stays legible and consistent as the product grows.

Contacts, with context.

The app is built around one idea: you don't remember people alphabetically. Every screen captures where you met, what you talked about and what happens next — then plugs into calendar, messages, maps and a dashboard so following up is a tap, not a chore.

A launch, in two moves.

A marketing site to sell the idea, and a TestFlight page to convert curiosity into beta testers. Both are live — hover to scroll the full page, or click through to see them in the wild.

The story & the pitch

Marketing site

The public launch site — the emotional hook, how the app works, and who it's for. Built to make a brand-new networking habit feel obvious.

The early-access funnel

TestFlight page

A focused, dark-themed conversion page — proof stats, a clear early-access offer, and a single job: get the right people into the beta.

The electric human moment.

A campaign system where real connection is made visible — a charge of green passing between people. One look that scales from a story-format ad to an app-store hero.
