The question

GPT answers questions. Bump accompanies a journey.

Tailored to your week

Information that changes with your exact week of pregnancy.

Content you can trust

Pre-written and reviewed, not regenerated on the fly.

Community & continuity

Groups, workshops and experts, from week one to the birth.

Research

12 interviews, 4 pain points that kept coming up

Interviews, 3–4 per team memberDesigners, equal split of the work
Pain point

Non-personalized info

Gap: Information overload, no filtering
→ Personalization by pregnancy week
Pain point

No emotional support

Gap: Lack of community
→ Groups, workshops and expert lectures
Pain point

Cluttered design

Gap: Dated interface, no interactivity
→ Clean design, simple navigation, interactive features
Pain point

Hidden costs

Gap: Key features behind a paywall
→ Main features are free
Personas

2 first-time moms, 2 very different needs

Maya

Maya, 34

First pregnancy · high-tech · packed schedule

Needs: Evidence-based, personalized medical info

Pain: No time for long groups or endless searching

Lior, 27

First pregnancy · excited and stressed

Needs: Reminders and quick access to information

Pain: Fear of inaccurate info and the stress it causes

Structure

5 areas around 1 calm home screen

Articles, diary, search with a map, community, and nutrition & sport, plus a personal area for profile, notifications and settings.

Design system

Warm, calm, one primary action per screen

The design refresh

Before and after, and why

Tap a change to see the new screen.

The 2025 screens are not included in this case study, so the “before” is described in words from my own notes of what changed.

Three decisions

What the redesign decided, and why

Made for a first pregnancy

Bump fits a first pregnancy best, when everything is new and unfamiliar. By the second you already know the way and have little time. So Bump walks the first journey with you, up to the birth.

Soft 3D and real photos

3D illustrations for feelings and medical topics. Photos for the real world: food, places and people.

Members save, never pay

Partner perks for the community, clearly labeled. The map is sorted by moms’ recommendations, never by who paid.

Process

How I worked with AI

I’m a designer, not a developer. I did the whole refresh alone, working with Claude Code, and made every product decision myself.

1

Reviewing the old work

I gave Claude Code the project folder: the deck, the Figma file and the old screens. We chose a home direction out of two options and wrote a short spec for every area before drawing a single screen.

2

Designing in code, screen by screen

Each area was built as a working web app for phone and tablet. After every step I reviewed it and pushed back: misaligned coupons, empty space in a card, icons that didn’t match the article they sat next to.

3

Decisions that stayed mine

First pregnancy only. Real photos for food and places, soft 3D for everything else. Perks that never change the order on the map. A journal that syncs with the phone calendar. Even the words: “terribly excited” became “very excited”.

4

Live and ready to test

The prototype is online. Week, days left, baby size and checkups are all calculated from the due date, so it is ready for a usability test with first-time moms.

Why a design refresh

I came back to Bump with different eyes.

I did Bump during my studies. Since then I have worked with real clients, constraints and users, and I can see what worked and, mostly, what did not: long forms, unclear hierarchy, small light text, navigation without labels. Each looked reasonable then; today I know how to spot and fix them. This refresh shows a process: revisiting old work, critiquing it honestly, and improving it with what I learned. I did the whole refresh on my own, working the way designers work today: designing and building a real, clickable prototype in code with Claude Code.
