New Product Development: Lyk Card Extension for Thomas Cook

I led the development of a new feature for Thomas Cook’s Lyk card, aimed at allowing parents to track and control their children's pocket money spending while abroad. My goal was to create a seamless and simple interface that enhances the user experience, encouraging parents to continue using the product even after their holiday. By carefully selecting a familiar colour scheme and ensuring smooth transitions between pages, I ensured the interface was user-friendly and aligned with Thomas Cook's brand.
