I was hired as a freelancer to design the Interaction & UX of the app,
ensuring a seamless journey for the users.
From understanding client requirements to designing final product.
Scroll to see how I approached design
Phase 1
Client Requirements & PRD
Started with understanding client requirements & drafting a PRD for the project
It wasn't just another social media platform where one could share photos and videos; it was unique. To design the product, it was crucial to understand the company's idea, underlying thoughts & vision.
After a long conversation with the Founder & Product Leader about the product, audience, goals & preferences, I drafted a PRD to ensure seamless collaboration.
This approach helped me design the product smoothly and collaboratively with fewer iterations.
Phase 2
Target Audience
Interacted with proxy users to understand the target audience
To craft a user-centric solution, it was necessary to understand users. To achieve this, we conducted user interviews & desk research to understand users in a better way.
Real users were not feasible, so we conducted interviews with proxy users who shared similarities with real ones.
After some thought & consideration, we concluded on these 2 potential user personas:
Tech-savvy Users
Non-tech-savvy Users
Phase 3
Design System
Drafted a design system to ensure uniform & seamless interaction throughout a product
Once the design style had been confirmed, I drafted a flexible Design System before diving into the final design.
This system ensured initial consistency throughout the product by pre-defining basic elements such as colours, fonts, icons, styles, etc.
The design system was flexible enough to expand or contract as needed over time during the design process.
Phase 4
Product Design
Presenting final designs:
Functional and engaging user interface ensuring seamless journey for users
The perfect blend of aesthetics & usability!
The real challenge: converting thoughts into visuals. While designing, I ensured that the designs are aesthetically pleasing and usable as well as aligned with business goals.
The goals we were trying to achieve through design was:
01.
Easy adoption
Since this was a one-of-a-kind app, we focused on designing an intuitive interface so anglers could quickly and easily adopt the app.
02.
Familiarity
As a way to improve adoption, we decided to keep the design familiar for the users while still maintaining its uniqueness.
02.
Better user engagement
Added interactive components, motions, and visual delights to create an immersive experience, encouraging users to explore and enjoy the product.
