Project Motivations
After years of creating design prototypes, I decided to take on a new learning project and immerse myself into a mobile development project. The goal is to take an app idea from a sketch to a functional app that users can get mental health benefits from.
Problem / Solution
Ideation
Starting with artwork, photographs, and graphics, I started pulling together what I saw as the ethos of the app. An identity that can speak to those who seek more out of life.
Design Prototypes
After some moodboarding and initial wireframe sketches, I took the concepts into a few mobile mocks with components to give structure to the information architecture of the app.
v1.0 Development
After more refining, I took my protoype imagery and started building out the core functionalities of the app with Swift in Xcode. I also was able to play around with our tools and AI models to experiment with new ways of writing code.
After a few weeks of writing code and debugging during my nights and weekends, I put together a version of the app to use with TestFlight on iOS.
What's Next
My next steps will be to continue adding journal prompts to the app, upload for more user testing, and then make some posts on social media to have folks check out the app and hopefully get value from the project.
Notes
Closing Thoughts
I found this project to be a great learning experience. I plan on continuing to use mobile development as a fun learning project, allowing me to also excel as a bridge between design and development teams in the future.
