Effortless Privacy—Designing a VPN for Simplicity
Keepsafe VPN was the latest addition to the Keepsafe privacy suite—designed to make secure browsing effortless. With a user-first approach, we ensured that privacy wasn’t just powerful, but also easy to adopt and use.
Role:
UX Designer
Platform:
iOS, Android
Goal:
Design a user-friendly mobile VPN app
I designed a highly functional onboarding sequence for Keepsafe VPN, prioritizing simplicity and ease of use to cater to a broad audience of privacy-conscious users, many of whom were not highly tech-savvy. This approach was later praised in a review, stating, 'the ease-of-use factor is perhaps the biggest thing Keepsafe VPN has going for it.'
Auto-connect
I designed in-app tutorials and messaging for the Auto-Connect feature, which automatically activates VPN protection for users. This feature adds value by keeping users secure without requiring app engagement, and my work focused on clearly explaining its benefits and encouraging activation.
Material Design
I leveraged Material Design as the underlying design system to ensure consistency and ease of use across Keepsafe VPN. This approach streamlined communication with overseas developers, enabling efficient collaboration and maintaining a cohesive user experience.
