This week, prior to our product meeting, I created a Mobile App Ui Design Proposal. My proposal focuses on helping us efficiently and conceptually work through product improvements.
I created a notion board in our Product Roadmap section and shared my design proposal with the entire Pearachute team. It is important to learn out loud. When you share with your co-workers, they get a sense of your skills and capabilities. Also, you will get constructive feedback on how you can improve your work. Therefore, I thought it was important to share my proposal with everyone on the Pearachute team.
Conceptual Design
This proposal is mainly so that, as a team, we can conceptually start to understand how we want our app to function and improve upon existing features.
I don’t think we should get caught up in design elements, those are easy changes we can implement down the line, but mainly the framework and user-ablility of the product flow.
I think we all have ideas for what we want the app to look like, but I believe simplicity and ease of user experience is most important. The best looking apps are also the most simple and have a clean, sharp aesthetic! (i.e. AirBnB)
This week I mocked up a simple concept, focusing on our three main features…social, booking events, and gamification. The social aspect of creating a profile and interacting with other families in your community is important to get our registered users to continue to use the app. With higher retention of registered users, there is a larger chance of them booking a course and purchasing credits.
If we can conceptually agree on a plan of action, I think this will help our Development team succeed in future projects and move the needle! Scroll down further to see my Ui Design and mockups.
