Challenge

The challenge was to create a note-taking app unlike anything you've seen before. My mission was not just to be functional; I wanted to make a bold statement. I applied Neubrutalism design principles to strip away excess and leave what really matters. We added PIN protection for security-conscious users, too.

Results

Bolt combines notes and Neubrutalism. As a result, I transformed note-taking into a minimalist masterpiece.

There are no distractions, just your thoughts. We protect your notes with a PIN for those who value privacy.

Bolt is more than just taking notes; it's about making a statement. Bolt is your answer if you're ready to break free from design norms. A design revolution, not just note-taking.

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.
