The NM iOS App was outdated — skin and bones. There was a content overload and the functionality was glitchy. The UI was using iPhone 5 standards and the app was non-ADA compliant. We wanted to introduce best practices and to re-skin the architecture to reflect that.

Initial Sketches
The goal was to simplify the navigation to make it easier to get from point A to B. Reimagined user flow and created wireframes to show new functionality, such as gestures and pinned elements.

Account Section
Information within this section was disorganized. The idea was to introduce a dashboard concept to show your account in one view. Graphically, updated to a modern palette by using design components such as: background image blur, card style with rounded corners and distinct iOS style headers.
Store directory
Cleaned up this section to make it easier to locate stores and contact store associates. The UI components have been updated with a cleaner look.
Messaging
Accessible via the global nav, messaging needed a revamp. Using native iOS components, this section now achieves the simple tasks of deleting or viewing your messages.
