01Overview

An app that sounds like you, not like AI.

OwnVoyce learns how you write, then drafts LinkedIn posts that sound like you — and suggests what's worth posting about, so staying active takes minutes, not hours.

The work spanned positioning, naming, a full monochrome brand identity, the end-to-end product experience, and a restrained motion system — designed so the technology never announces itself, and the person always sounds like themselves.

02The problem

Generative AI made everyone sound the same.

The market was flooded with tools that generate content. They all produce the same flat, recognizable "AI voice" — and they all start with a blank box that asks "what do you want to write?" For a busy executive, that blank box is the work, not the relief.

The insight

The hard part isn't writing. It's knowing what's worth saying — and sounding like yourself when you say it.

The pivot

It started as a general AI writing tool. It became one focused thing: helping busy executives stay active on LinkedIn.

03Identity

A monogram hidden inside the word.

The logo is two letters in one shape: a curved O and an angled V. It still reads as "OV" even shrunk down to a tiny app icon.

the curved arm — O
the angled arm + serif — V
Two letters, one mark. O + V = OwnVoyce.

Still reads as "OV" all the way down to favicon size.

Three tones. No bright colours, no gradients — kept simple on purpose. One bronze appears once, only to teach the mark.

"Own" is lighter, "Voyce" is heavier. That weight change makes the two words read as one logo.

Try it before you sign up

The first real draft happens with no account and no payment. You see it work before anything is asked of you.

One-tap fixes

Each "still missing" note is a single tap — like "add a personal example." Not a generic redo.

Morning brief

For executives: "three things worth posting about today." It suggests the topic, so there's no blank page.

One user, done well

Kept narrow on purpose — LinkedIn only, one user, no teams or dashboards — so the core gets really good first.

06Motion

Motion that settles, instead of spinning.

Most loading screens say "working…" This one feels like a calm breath. The two strokes open slightly, then settle — more stillness than motion. It loops, and you barely notice it.

A signature behaviour the brand owns — recognizable from the motion alone, even with the wordmark hidden.

The reveal — the icon was hidden in the word
OwnVoyce

The word turns into the logo: the extra letters fade, the O and V slide together, and the icon appears. It loops.

07What guided every decision

Principles.

Cut, don't add

Login, billing, extra platforms, dashboards — all cut. It got better as it got smaller.

Show, don't tell

Let the product prove itself before it explains itself.

The person, not the tool

If you notice the AI more than your own voice, it's doing too much.

Simple looks expensive

Few colours, one gesture, lots of quiet. The best motion is the kind you barely notice.
