About
About
Strava is a social fitness app focused on runners and cyclists to track their exercise. Primarily focused competition, users race individually and compare their stats to see who is the fastest.
Our vision for this project was to shift the narrative form competition to community building, helping users stay motivated through positive reinforcement.
Along with this, we redesign Strava's UI and branding to reflect a unique and modern aesthetic that feels sleek, contemporary, and aspirational.
