Process
Research & Analysis: I conducted brain storming session, and studied competitor apps and industry trends to gather insights
Information Architecture: Based on the research findings, I structured the app's navigation and content, prioritizing features and information according to user needs.
Wireframing & Prototyping: I designed low-fidelity wireframes to visualize the layout and navigation, iteratively refining them based on user feedback. Afterward, I built a high-fidelity, interactive prototype to test the design.
Usability Testing: I conducted usability tests with a diverse group of users to validate the design and identify areas for improvement. Based on the feedback, I made necessary adjustments to the design.
Visual Design & Style Guide: I developed a cohesive visual language, including color schemes, typography, and iconography, ensuring consistency throughout the app. also created a style guide to maintain design consistency in future updates.
