A subscription portal that makes it easy to stay subscribed

I led design for the PupGum subscription portal at Spot & Tango, building the self-serve account experience for a brand-new product line from the ground up. I designed every surface customers touch after checkout — a home dashboard that makes reordering a single decision, subscription management for multi-pup households with split ship dates, and an orders experience where rescheduling or skipping takes one tap instead of a support ticket. I worked directly with engineering to scope states, edge cases, and conditional logic, shipping a spec dev could build without guesswork. The result is a portal that turns routine account admin into a retention surface — and gives Spot & Tango a reusable pattern for the subscription products that follow.

Designing Retention Into the Details

Most subscription portals make leaving the easiest thing to find. I designed PupGum's around the interventions that solve the problem underneath — skip this one, ship it later, stretch the interval — and placed them where the friction actually surfaces, on the order itself, rather than buried in account settings. Cancellation is still one interaction away; it just stops being the first answer to every complaint. The flow itself follows the same logic: rather than gating it behind friction, it diagnoses the real reason someone is going — too much product, wrong timing, a pup who has moved on — and offers the specific remedy, whether that's a longer interval, a skipped shipment, a winback, or a graceful exit handled with care. Paired with a dashboard that surfaces progress, perks, and referrals, the portal earns the next order rather than assuming it.
