Looking back...
What did I learn?
Less is more. Upon researching similar apps, I found that decluttering the UI as much as possible made the information easy to read and the features quick to process.
Less is a bore. Conversely, having minimalism as a basis for design is a good starting point, but there’s plenty of ways to add empathy to a design that don’t involve a simplistic approach. Illustrations, for example, turned out to be a great way to add character to the UI.
What did we achieve?
Made my first project in UX design. This, along with a successful round of interviews, landed me my first product design job.
