Hey Barista Discover the best cafés

The word “Hey” repeated in rows on yellow, from the Hey Barista loading animation

Animation to reduce perceived waiting time

Hey Barista is a global guide for coffee lovers and industry professionals, with a Top 11 of the best cafés in each city. I handled the motion design, translating its rich editorial content into a fluid mobile experience. The focus was on the waiting moments: a loading animation, skeleton screens and transitions between screens that make loading feel shorter.
