Cyclone

Background

The project derives its name from the cyclone, a powerful and dynamic weather phenomenon characterized by rotating winds and low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones can range in scale from massive polar vortices and extratropical cyclones to smaller mesocyclones, tornadoes, and dust devils.

Inspired by the cyclone’s potential to disrupt and transform, I chose this name to symbolize the user’s ability to harness the power of the product to effortlessly manage their property and bookings. Just as a cyclone can reshape its surroundings, this project empowers users to take control and streamline their operations with ease.
