Lyst: designing an onboarding that learns your taste from the first tap

Lyst

Designing an onboarding that captures a shopper's taste from the very first tap

Lyst app onboarding screens
Overview

Lyst is a global fashion platform, and everything depends on understanding a shopper's taste. That understanding has to start in the first minute, before the feed has any history to learn from. I'm leading the redesign of new-user onboarding: taste capture, a style quiz, gender selection, and the contextual pop-ups that ask for the right thing at the right time, all built on a refreshed design system.

The Work

Where onboarding begins

The first four screens a new shopper meets: sign-up, account creation, brand selection, and notifications. Each stays light on friction while quietly capturing enough taste to personalise the feed from the first session.

Lyst welcome and sign-in screen: 'Don't shop around. 27,000 brands, one app.' with Apple, Google, and guest options.
