Challenges
Eco-Friendly Innovation
The primary challenge was to design a solution that could replace the ubiquitous paper business cards, minimizing environmental impact while preserving the personal touch and professionalism of networking.
Cross-Platform Consistency
Ensuring a seamless, native-like experience on both iOS and Android was critical. The app needed to function flawlessly across devices, providing users with a consistent interface and performance.
Real-Time Customization
Bumpy required a system that allowed users to create and customize digital business cards with instant previews. The interface needed to be intuitive and responsive to various customization options.
