Bloom App

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.

Problem Statement

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.

Research & Insights

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.
