My Role (Team of 6): UX Designer
Duration: (3 Months) Sep 2015 - Dec 2015
My Responsibilities: User Interviews, User Research Analysis, Persona Development, User Scenarios/Flows, Wireframing, Content Layout, Typography, Iconography, Gestures, Operating System Plans, Complete Visual Design for the Email, Health, and Notes App
We set out to create a design language for a new set of audience. Our goal was come up with the following elements for our new operating system intended for kids in the age group of 7-10:
• Color Palettes
• UI Patterns
• Iconography
• Typography
• Gestures
• System Plans
We conducted interviews with over 10 children in the age group of 7-10 as well as their parents to understand the need of a mobile phone for such young children. We came across a lot of patterns in the research that helped us identify the major concerns, which were:
• Parental control over content
• Playful yet comforting & clean design elements
• Major focus on keeping the child closer and connected to the parents
• An interactive, friendly, and engaging assistant
Based on the design language, we designed 16 native apps for the KiddOS.
