Overview

Absorbia is a micro-learning app that delivers short, visual knowledge cards across topics like science, history, and technology. The goal of this project was to design an engaging and trustworthy paywall that motivates users to upgrade to Absorbia Pro while staying true to the brand’s curiosity-driven spirit. Problem Most subscription paywalls feel pushy and transactional. For a learning app built on inspiration, the experience needed to feel like an invitation, not a sale. The challenge was to design a screen that encourages conversion through warmth, clarity, and emotional connection rather than pressure. Vision I wanted the paywall to express Absorbia’s core message: curiosity is growth. The design had to visually capture that feeling of discovery like opening a magical library that unlocks new knowledge.
