Pet booking
Ios app Design (2022)
This is the ios app for fast petsitter’s search, designed for people who have pets and want to travel or need to go to a business trip. I started my work with existing app competitors’ analisis. Then I designed wireframes, I did hallway testing to find weak points before the next step, designing UI. Respondents shared valuable insights with me, that helped me to make design easier to interact with.
Icons, colour and typography were selected so as to highlight the «human aspect» of the app, caring, user-friendly to a user. It gives a feeling, that there is somebody you can trust, the trust is very important thing in such situation like petsitting. Many rounded corners were used, icons taken from the same set. All components I drew in details in UI-Kit with different states.
Museum of Abstract Art
Adaptive Design (2022)
Web project with online museum, allowing you booking abstract art excursions to view in different formats while staying at home. One of peculiarities of the project was creating logotype and color composition. Designed adaptive for all screens, saved necessary functionality from desktop such as CTA-s, list of available excursions and available time.
It was crucial to provide possibility to obtain online excursion the most user-friendly way. Colours and typography were selected carefully not to cause any discomfort to eyes.
Developing new feature for Uber
Ios app Design (2022)
Graduation project where I had interesting thing to do – to design Shared rides feature for Uber app that should be optional for user to use it or not. Implementing Shared rides should help users to save money and not to wait for car too long. User can activate this feature by clicking on the round button with smile and turn it off the same way. The main condition was to use Base Gallery library in Figma and design new feature based on it. I also designed some new elements that were missed in this library.
During wirefames testing I found out that the route I drew wasn’t clear for users. Route was divided on tabs named «More coincidences» and «Less coincidences», and also there was a button «Join in» that confused people finally. As a result I decided to separate one function on two: myself as a co-rider, who wants to join another co-rider and function, allowing to pick up co-riders when I act as an initiator of a ride.
