Kitty
HOUSE SHARING MADE SIMPLE
Kitty makes managing shared bills and switching to better deals easy. Once set up, everyone pays their fair share automatically – no more chasing money. Kitty is 100% independent, so you can rest assured it will always find the best deals for you.
At Idean, we ran a two week experiment to understand why we're so indifferent about energy. We found that while our relationship with traditional energy providers is broken, our relationship with energy is just getting started! In this context, we imagined what a new kind of relationship with a different kind of energy service could look like. I created and designed the idea for Kitty. Over two weeks I did some basic branding and a first version of the UI and user journey.
