The task flow I created was simple and easy to follow. Keepings in mind that my target users would be limited in English proficiency- I had to make sure the app wasn't too overwhelming to use. With my task flow in hand, I could now move on to the next phase...developing my ideas.
In the Develop phase, I translated the defined problem into actionable design solutions through sketching, creating wireframes, and developing prototypes. These visual representations allowed me to explore various ideas and iterate quickly. I conducted user testing sessions to gather feedback on the prototypes, refining the designs based on user insights and preferences.
I pulled inspiration for the layout, components and video call interfaces.
This process inspired my sketches and wireframes.
After finalizing my Version 1 Wireframe Prototype, I prepared for testing. To ensure clear and consistent testing, I created a Testing Script detailing the procedures to confirm my design assumptions and the fluidity of the overall flow. Due to time limitations, I conducted tests on five tasks with five participants using my Figma prototype.
Task 1 - Log in screen redesign login interface
Task 2- Request Lang Assistance
Task 3- Type of service
Task 4- Request ass now
Task 5 Choose language
Task 6- Add doctor arl to the call
Task 7- End call
After finalizing my Version 2 Wireframe Prototype, I prepared for testing again. Due to time limitations, I conducted tests on five tasks with five more participants using my Figma prototype.
Task 1 - Log in screen redesign login interface
Task 2- Request Lang Assistance
Task 3- Type of service
Task 4- Request ass now
Task 5 Choose language
Task 6- Add doctor Carl to the call
Task 7- End call
After several iterations and incorporating the feedback from fellow designers, I transitioned into branding- this would bring my design to life!
Finally, in the Deliver phase, I focused on bringing the chosen solution to life by defining its visual identity and crafting a compelling marketing strategy.
I pulled images that would make a user feel encouraged, understanding, accessible, empowered, transparent, trustworthy, comprehensive, and supportive.
I chose the Rufina typeface for the informational design aspect of my app.
The accessibility test generated results that told me that the typography I choose passed for font sizes above 11px and aligned left.
I extracted colors from the mood board images to begin the process of finding my brand colors.
This color pallet represents the colors used in the app’s background, highlights, accents, functions, and informative design elements.
Color injection plays a crucial role in shaping the overall look and feel of the brand. Bold and dynamic colors can grab users' attention, draw them in, and encourage engagement with the app's interface and content.

After finalizing the design, it was now time to think about how to attract users to the application. The best starting point was to create a responsive marketing site.
A marketing site allows me to reach potential users directly. Doing so I can provide a seamless and engaging experience that highlights the unique points of my app, ultimately driving more downloads and user adoption. Here you can see a mobile and desktop (below) version of the site.
Much like the importance of marketing, I also had to explore the thought process behind multi-platform design. Although I created a mobile application- there was a thought that users may need to access the application from alternative platforms. With this thought I began designing my app for tablet.
My reasoning behind choosing tablet was that more of the design can be viewable on one screen entirely.
During these 10 weeks, I've learned a lot about app development and design. The most important thing I've learned-however-is about pivoting. In app design, pivoting is not just okay; it's often essential for success. As I've experienced firsthand, the digital landscape is constantly evolving. Remaining rigid in my initial design approach could mean missing out on opportunities or failing to address emerging needs. By being open to pivoting in app design, I can adapt to changing circumstances, incorporate user feedback, and refine my product to better meet the demands of the market. Whether it's adjusting features, redesigning user interfaces, or even changing the app's core functionality, pivoting allows me to stay agile and responsive.
After completing all initial design tasks, I can consider several next steps to further enhance my app:
These steps will help me continue evolving and improving my app to meet user needs, stay competitive, and drive long-term success.
