Daily Bonus is another modernization project within Praia Bingo. It’s a feature that already existed but needed visual and structural changes to match the app’s evolving design direction.
My role on this project was mainly in the early and final stages. First, I developed the core concept that would define the feature’s visual identity and interaction logic, which was then handed off to another artist for illustration. After that, I stepped in once again for the component creation and handoff to the programmers.
Before and after comparison
Beyond the design work
What made this project distinct was what happened after the concept phase.
When I joined the studio, there were no prototyping or interface design tools in use. Everything was created in Photoshop, and handoff relied on static PNG assets.
Drawing from my previous experience with interface design, I introduced a new workflow centered around Figma.
This involved training the team to build responsive components and supporting the implementation alongside developers.
It became a strong team effort that significantly improved the Art Department’s workflow and skill set.
From feature to foundation: the beginning of a Design System
The component work developed during Daily Bonus didn’t stop at this feature. It became the foundation for something much larger.
Before this project, Praia Bingo had no unified component library or design system. Assets were created individually in Photoshop, with no shared logic between screens, no reusable states, and no single source of truth for the development team.
The structured approach introduced here, building components with defined states, variants, and responsive behavior in Figma. This was the first step for what is now a significantly more robust design system covering the full UI of the redesign of Praia Bingo’s interface.
It’s an ongoing effort, and one I intend to document in detail in a future case study.
