Chippin Toy UX/UI case study – crowdfunded gifting app

Project Overview

Chippin Toy is a mobile app designed to make gift-giving more meaningful and collaborative. Instead of buying small, individual gifts, family and friends can contribute together toward a larger, more impactful present for a child. The app ensures that gifts are tailored to children’s preferences while simplifying the contribution and tracking process for parents and relatives.

Key Contributions :

  • Defined the user journey for parents, family members, and children.
  • Designed the onboarding flow to accommodate both tech-savvy and elderly users (grandparents).
  • Created wireframes and interactive prototypes in Figma.
  • Applied accessibility best practices to make the platform usable for all age groups.
  • Collaborated with the product team on feature prioritization and roadmap.

Challenges

Parents struggled with managing multiple small gifts and wanted a way to coordinate larger, more valuable presents.

Family members, especially grandparents, needed a simple and intuitive experience to contribute easily.

The app needed to build trust around payment security and contribution tracking.

Solutions & Process

User Research – Interviews with parents and relatives to uncover frustrations in gift-giving.

Journey Mapping – Defined clear flows for gift discovery, contribution, and tracking.

Wireframes & Prototypes – Built and tested interactive prototypes to validate usability.

UI Design – Created a playful yet trustworthy design system aligned with the gifting experience.

Accessibility Focus – Optimized typography, contrast, and button sizes for elderly users.

Results & Impact

Personalization: Tailored gift suggestions based on children’s interests and age.

Accessibility: Grandparents and less tech-savvy users were able to contribute without friction.

Trust & Transparency: Built-in tracking and secure payment flow increased user confidence.

Emotional Impact: Strengthened family bonds by making gifting a shared, joyful experience.
