Bringing the account hub into reach.
Nobu's account settings lived in a slide-out drawer most people never opened. This was a proposal to move them into the bottom navigation, where your thumb already is, and to give the page a clearer shape.
A proposal to fix one quiet problem: the account section was tucked inside a side drawer, so most people never found it. The fix had two parts. Move the entry point into the bottom navigation, and restructure the page into clear blocks. From there I explored two visual directions for the same fix, one warmer and more personal, one clean and minimal.
Before
Buried in a drawer
Account settings opened from a slide-out drawer, the kind you only find if you already know it's there. Useful things sat one hidden gesture away, grouped together without much order.
Direction one · Personal
Into the bottom nav, with warmth
The entry point moves into the bottom navigation, where your thumb already rests, and the page is rebuilt as clear blocks: Account, Security, and the rest. This direction leans personal, leading with the member's name, photo, and tier so the page feels like theirs.
Direction two · Minimal
The same fix, stripped back
The same structure and the same bottom-nav entry, in a quieter style. Less expressive, more restrained, for a version that stays out of the way and lets the actions lead.
Why two directions
One fix, two ways to feel
The access problem has one answer: move it to the bottom nav and give the page a clear structure. How expressive it should feel is a separate question. Showing both directions let the team weigh that without reopening how the page works.
