“Building the app for MINI was definitely one of the highlights in my career. I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to develop this app from scratch.”

— Miodrag Ristovski

My Role

Lead Product Designer at M-tribes responsible for visual design and building the design system enabling developers to create iOS and Android apps and the desktop landing page. Also involved in promotional photos, UX research, campaign videos, and dealership animations.

The Product

MINI Sharing enables MINI owners to share their vehicle with family and friends. The app couples the owner's vehicle and enables remote unlocking, live positioning, and a calendar with bookings. Owners invite trusted people to share their MINI.

App Features

Vehicle Coupling

Owners connect their physical MINI to the app — pairing the car's systems with the digital experience.

Remote Unlocking

Shared users can unlock the MINI directly from the app — no physical key needed.

Live Positioning

Real-time vehicle location visible to the owner at all times.

Booking Calendar

A shared calendar where family and friends can schedule when they need the vehicle, preventing conflicts.

Friend & Family Invites

Owners invite trusted people to the app — controlling who has access and when.

Web Landing Page

Designed sharing.mini.es — the promotional web presence for MINI Sharing in Spain.

Design System
