Overview

FixOldPhoto is a mobile app that uses AI to restore old, damaged, or blurred photographs. The goal was to make advanced photo restoration feel simple and accessible, even for users with no prior editing experience.


I was responsible for designing the app’s screens end to end, as well as creating a simple brand identity, including the logo and a distinctive app icon.

The client came with a working concept and AI technology, but no visual identity and no defined product experience. The main challenges were:

• Presenting complex AI functionality in a way that feels effortless

• Building trust around photo quality and results

• Competing visually with similar apps in a crowded market

The app needed to feel modern, reliable, and immediately understandable.

Design Approach

I focused on clarity and confidence. The interface was designed to guide users step by step—from selecting a photo to previewing the restored result—without overwhelming them with technical details.

To speed up exploration and testing, Figma AI played a key role. It allowed me to quickly generate realistic examples of old, damaged, and blurred photos, which made it much easier to design believable before/after states and validate flows early.

Visual Identity & Icon

Visual Identity & Icon

Since the client didn’t have an existing brand, I designed:

✅ A simple, functional logo that feels neutral and trustworthy

✅ An engaging app icon inspired by visual patterns common in competing apps, while still standing out on the App Store

Core Experience

Core Experience

The interface is designed to keep the user focused on a single goal: restoring a photo with minimal effort.

Clear primary actions guide users from upload to result, while before-and-after comparisons make the AI’s impact immediately visible.

Each interaction was designed to reduce uncertainty and build confidence. The flow emphasizes simple decisions, clear feedback, and visual progress, helping users move through the restoration process without needing technical understanding.
