HizoVPN is a fast, privacy focused VPN app built for everyday users. When th product underwent a full rebrand, the entire product experience, app, website, and visual language, needed to be redesigned from the ground up to match the new identity. My role covered user research, UI design and prototyping across both mobile platforms, in close collaboration with brand and marketing team.

Starting Point

The redesign was triggered by a brand identity change. The existing UI no longer reflected where the product was heading, so rather than patching it, we rebuilt the experience from scratch.

This gave us the opportunity to also revisit who we were designing for and what they actually needed from a VPN.

Design

The app supports both light and dark themes. The core connection flow was designed to be as frictionless as possible, one tap to connect, clear state feedback, no noise.

Reflection

This project stretched beyond the app itself, coordinating with brand, marketing, and SEO meant design decisions had to hold up across multiple surfaces simultaneously. The constraint of working within a new brand identity from day one, rather than establishing it ourselves, was the defining challenge. It pushed us to internalize the visual language quickly and apply it consistently across a large screen count.
