Problem Statement

Solution

I designed a mobile app that tracks indoor plant growth and auto-schedules maintenance based on plant type. The app also fosters a community for plant enthusiasts to share insights and support one another.

Mind Map

Creating a Mind Map based on your User Persona's thoughts helps visualize their mindset, pain points, motivations, and expectations in a structured way.

User Flow

Developing a user flow helped me to better visualize the desired UX flow for our target customers. Laying out a detailed step-by-step process to reach the expected end goal for a particular task provided the groundwork for developing the low-fidelity solution.
