HCI Final Project

Overview

Selected the design track from five technical options to develop "The Plant App." From mapping the user experience (UX) to establishing the visual identity (Ul) of the final product; the concept project served as a strong introduction to industry design standards.

Learning Goals

• Develop low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes for iterative user testing.
• Incorporate interactive interface elements to simulate real-world functionality.
• Revise designs based on user feedback throughout the development process.

Instead, I mapped out the complete journey people take when choosing, placing, and caring for houseplants. I documented two distinct user personas:
