🙋🏽‍♂️My Role

This amazing experience let me explore different roles, like conducting interviews, leading a fun Affinity Mapping Workshop, Creating Wireframes with Figjam, Making Prototypes with Figma, and even building The Design System and Final UI. It was truly my first adventure as a Product Designer, and I loved every step of it!

I had the opportunity to connect with dog owners through interviews, digging into their needs and concerns to truly understand what they were going through.

User personas are like fictional characters that represent the people we're designing for. They help us understand our users better by capturing their goals, needs, and challenges. With user personas, we can put ourselves in their shoes and make design decisions that truly meet their expectations. It's like having a guide that keeps us focused on creating a great user experience tailored to our target audience.

Creating an initial user flow for onboarding and registration is crucial for a smooth user experience. This, in order to make an easy and fast experience.

To establish a friendly and calming atmosphere for the app, I focused on defining its visual style. To accomplish this, I curated a mood board that incorporated color, UI, and illustration references. Opting for a warm and neutral palette with a high contrast purple to emphasize some CTA and Buttons, utilizing simple and flat illustrations. This approach helped create the desired friendly and soothing vibe within the app's visual aesthetics.

I enjoy creating Design Systems. It enhances the customer experience by maintaining consistency and accessibility. I make sure the content meets accessibility guidelines throughout the process.

Throughout this project, I had the chance to engage in every stage of the Product Design process. This not only enabled me to create a meaningful user experience but also provided a valuable opportunity to explore and master new tools and techniques.

Two of the most interesting parts of the process were User Research and Visual Design. Center the user to improve the experience and find better ways to lay out the information.
