As the sole designer behind Zunu, I led the creation of its entire ecosystem, shaping everything from brand identity and user research to visual designs, all with a core emphasis on privacy and intuitive usability.
Designing a suite of encryption-focused products meant building a visual identity that communicates trust, privacy, and innovation at its core. With Zunu, where security is the foundation, every design element was intentionally chosen to reinforce that promise.
From colors to typography, the branding was developed to stand out while aligning with the product’s mission safeguarding data through end-to-end encryption. This cohesive identity not only builds credibility but also ensures strong recall across the entire Zunu ecosystem.
At Ziroh Labs, I was behind the design of the Zunu Privacy Suite, a suite of encryption-first tools developed to protect sensitive personal and financial data. Given the nature of Ziroh’s focus on securing high-risk customer information, there was a strong need for software that could enforce robust, system-wide encryption.
The Zunu platform addressed this by enabling encrypted storage, secure identity access, and privacy-preserving communication. My contributions focused on designing intuitive, consistent, and scalable interfaces for key products like Zunu, Zunu Drive, and Zunu Mail, ensuring users could confidently navigate and interact with a system built from the ground up for end-to-end security.
Since my departure, Sparrow was rebranded to Zunu Social due to naming constraints, and Sparrow Messenger became Zunu Message. While there haven’t been updates on Zunu Calendar and Speakout, Ziroh Labs introduced a new product, Zunu Camera. They also rolled out a fresh design system, replacing all the product logos I originally designed. But one thing stayed strong through it all: the Zunu logo that I created still stands tall.

After laying the foundation for secure digital tools through the Zunu Ecosystem, Ziroh Labs transitioned into a bold new direction with Kompact AI. Built on the principles of accessibility and decentralization, Kompact enables large AI models to run efficiently on standard CPUs—eliminating the need for costly GPUs. It marks a significant leap from encrypted applications to AI democratization, aligning with Ziroh’s ongoing mission to make advanced technology universally accessible.

As the digital landscape evolved, so did Ziroh Labs. While the Zunu ecosystem laid the groundwork for secure, privacy-focused infrastructure, the team has now extended its vision into the world of artificial intelligence. With a strong foundation in encryption and performance, Ziroh is venturing into AI with the same commitment to accessibility and innovation. Let’s take a moment to explore where that journey is headed.
