The visual identity for Ocycle was created to support a brand that helps women understand their bodies with clarity and confidence. It was designed to reflect expertise without feeling clinical, and to communicate important information in a way that is approachable, trustworthy, and visually calm. The identity strengthens the brand’s mission to guide women through their cycle with clarity, ease, and everyday usability.

The mobile app Ocycle for tracking the female cycle is designed for women who don’t want to rely only on internet advice or solely on their gynecologist. By tracking their cycle, they know what’s happening with their bodies on a daily basis and are able to find solutions quickly.

A few words from our client

A few words from our client

Alena was the first designer who managed to turn my ideas into reality. She has an incredible ability to truly understand a client’s needs, tune into your vision, and give it the professional look you expect. We worked together for over two years, and thanks to her, the timeless app for women, Ocycle, was created. I believe this project also resonated with her artistic heart, allowing her to fully express herself and bring something genuinely new into the world. Alena and I became so well aligned in design, and she understands the style of my brands so well, that we continue to collaborate. I’m excited to see what new look she will give to my future projects as well.
