2019 - Gardening Application
Bloom app provides simple tools and practical features for plant care, with practical functionality to inspire and assist users in maintaining their plants.
Bloom is a conceptual design for a gardening mobile application, researched and designed as the final project for the UI/UX course at Mentor College.
My Role: UI/UX Designer and Product Researcher.
Challenge: Many people considering starting a home garden, but often, they don’t know where to start or feel confident enough to give it a try.
Target Audience: Technologically skilled who are comfortable with apps but new to gardening.
User Dashboard - early sketch
I looked at other plant care apps for inspiration, but none had a solid onboarding process. Then, I explored ways to create a personalized onboarding process that adapts to each user's needs. I felt I could find a good match in sports and running apps.
Onboarding process for personalization: Tailored the dashboard to suit each user's needs.
Displaying data on a calendar: Ensure users know exactly when and what actions need to be taken next.
Parameters and metrics of the plant’s current state: Provide a clear metrics to help users see their garden's status at a glance.
