THE BRIEFPick a shared everyday pain point, imagine a superpower to solve it, and design the tool that makes it safe and usable.

EVERYDAY PAIN POINTAs NYC commuters, our team noticed how hard it is to carry everything for a full day — from the morning commute to post-work yoga to late-night plans, without a chance to go home.

The average woman’s handbag weighs 6.27 lb
That’s heavier than a small dog, and most newborn babies.

The average person carries up to 15 lbs daily
Gym, dinner, errands often mean tradeoffs, detours, or spreading plans across days.

The daily mental load is constant
With an average of 35,000 decisions a day, including: “Did I pack everything? What did I forget? How can I fit it all?”

Our bags decide more than we think — what we carry, where we go, and what we leave behind.

AND WE CAME UP WITH THE SUPERPOWER:A Pocket Cloud!

SUPERPOWERS HAVE PROBLEMS

Unlimited Space comes with Unlimited Chaos.With unlimited space, we might hoard what we don’t need, lose track of what we own, and struggle to navigate. And with invisibility comes a new kind of question: Is too much privacy a problem?

AIRY OVERVIEW

Pack Smarter, Live Lighter
Airy helps people offload the mental load of packing and organizing their essentials. It sorts items into cloud-based pockets, learns from how others pack similar bags, and keeps everything accessible across phone and watch—so users can travel lighter, both physically and mentally.

Learn from how others pack their bags to optimize your own.

Paired watch app keeps your cloud light and accessible on the go.

TARGET USERS
The people benefiting the most from the product: Stretched Thin Parent, Fashionista, and Traveler.

DESIGN INSPO: SOMETHING FUN, MODERN, AND AIRY

The visual language is light and cloud-like, with soft edges, airy negative space, and gentle shadows that add a sense of lift. References came from multiple disciplines—printed matter, graphic design, and of course, UI design.

DESIGN SYSTEM

A modular system centered on softness, negative space, and subtle depth—designed to feel light, modern, and flexible across digital surfaces.

CORE INTERACTIONS

Having too much to carry - now you can store things in your cloud!

& Pop!
