Challenge

The projects addressed different problem areas inside the Vodafone mobile app. Some journeys required clearer structures and improved usability, while others needed new interaction patterns to increase engagement and offer visibility. The challenge was to redesign these surfaces in a consistent and mobile-friendly way while working closely with product owners, business teams, and development squads.

Top-up journey redesign

Results
20% increase in success rate
18% decrease in error cases
Context
The prepaid top-up flow needed improvements to shorten the journey and increase the success rate. Usability tests on the old design revealed several issues: users struggled to find how to top up another number, had difficulty recalling numbers, faced unclear amount selection, misinterpreted the save-card option, could not switch between saved and new cards, and encountered unclear error states.
User insights and workshop
Usability tests on the old design revealed several issues: users struggled to find how to top up another number, had difficulty recalling numbers, faced unclear amount selection, misinterpreted the save-card option, could not switch between saved and new cards, and encountered unclear error states.

A one day UX workshop was held with the research team to review these findings, map the problem areas, and explore improvements and new feature options for the redesigned journey.
Design improvements
The flow was separated into “Top up to my number” and “Top up to other number”. Optional predefined amounts were placed in a horizontal swipe for easier scanning. The security code field became more informative with a ghost text and an info button.

The save-card component was redesigned with clear text and a switch control. When users had saved cards, switching between saved and new cards became explicit with radio buttons. Backend updates improved focus behavior, inactive confirmation states until inputs were completed, and selecting numbers from the contact list.
Guideline update
Error states and focus behaviors were redefined as an MVP guideline for the app to improve consistency.

Guess & win gamification

Results
800K+ new monthly active users
Context
A gamification feature was created to increase traffic and attract more users to the My Vodafone app. Users received several rights to guess the last four digits of a number. Extra chances were given when users logged in, invited friends to become Vodafone customers, or purchased add-ons. When the guess was correct, users received an iPhone.

Stories for marketing offers

Results
47% increase in daily average sales
101% increase
in daily average lead generation
10x increase
in proposition-click conversion rateRecognized as “Squad of the month” globally
Context
The old speech-bubble offer structure had low visibility. Data showed that 80% of users viewed only the second bubble, while the rest received significantly less attention. This directly affected the performance of products promoted through the dashboard.
Ideation
Workshops were held with product owners, business developers, and development teams. The team decided to develop a stories structure as an MVP. The full-screen layout made it easier to present promotions, and navigating between offers required only a single tap.
Design
Stories were placed at the top of the main dashboard. Personalized and mass offers were shown using a targeted grouping mechanism. Transitions between stories were automatic, creating a more continuous experience compared to the previous bubble structure.
