Michelin’s TikTok Mini Program was developed as an official presence within the platform’s ecosystem. Unlike its WeChat counterpart, which serves as a brand-owned hub for Michelin’s digital services, the TikTok Mini Program needed to adapt to the platform’s dynamic nature, making Michelin’s content more accessible and engaging. Given TikTok’s fast-paced user behaviour, my challenge was to design a concise and visually engaging interface that provides essential product information while maintaining a seamless user experience.

Unlike brand-owned platforms, TikTok’s Mini Program required a concise, single-page format to match its fast-scrolling behaviour. The challenge was balancing brand presence with usability while maintaining clarity and engagement.

A Michelin Passport That Turns Dining Into a Starred Journey

The 'Gourmet Star Journey' section offers users a personalised overview of their Michelin dining experiences. It tracks how many starred restaurants they've visited — including 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star venues — and encourages users to explore more by gamifying the experience. This feature not only boosts engagement but also builds a sense of accomplishment as users ‘collect’ stars through their culinary journey.

Modular Navigation for Tyre Category Exploration

This is the tyre category landing page, designed to help users efficiently navigate different types of tyres based on their vehicle or usage scenario. The top navigation bar allows quick switching between passenger car tyres, SUV tyres, bicycle tyres, and related services or products. Within each category, sub-categories — such as 'Urban Commuting', 'Sporty Control', or 'Fuel Efficiency' — guide users to find the most suitable tyres. The layout simplifies the selection process by offering filters like car model or tyre size, reducing user decision fatigue.
