Pet Vitals
Designed in Figma, this project focused on creating a simple, distraction-free app to help pet owners manage medications, vet records, diet, allergies, and emergency care. The goal was to build a tool that supports pet health tracking in a clear and accessible way. A minimal interface and intuitive layout keep the experience focused, helping users stay organized without feeling overwhelmed.
Planning
I started with a UX questionnaire provided for the project. It helped outline the key goals for the app and gave insight into who we were designing for. The questions focused on user needs, current frustrations, and what features would actually help with pet health management. It also guided early decisions about workflows, priorities, and what problems the app needed to solve first.
Research
I created an empathy map to understand what pet owners actually need from a health tracking app. A lot of them are juggling multiple medications, vet visits, and emergency info across different platforms. The big takeaway was that users want something simple, reliable, and focused only on what matters.
I also did a competitive assessment of existing pet health apps. Most were either too cluttered, lacked proper tracking features, or were geared more toward vet offices than everyday pet owners. That helped me focus this app on clean design, daily use, and making health info easy to access without digging through extra content.
Lo-Fi & Testing
I created a user flow chart and wireframes to map out how people would move through the
app and interact with key features like reminders, pet profiles, and emergency tools. This helped lay out the overall structure and screen hierarchy early on.
For testing, I got feedback from five peers. They liked the reminders on the home screen and how the app felt familiar, like a notification center. They also suggested improvements like adding arrows to show clickable elements, adjusting spacing for clarity, and using more color to improve visual organization. That feedback helped me refine the layout while keeping the clean, distraction-free feel.

ECO Engage
Designed in Figma, this mobile app promotes sustainable habits and community engagement through local clean-up events and resources. The goal was to create an approachable, user-friendly tool that supports safer, cleaner, and more connected urban living. Developed through group ideation with Michael Bushyeager, Hannah Green, and Brady Dotson, with final designs completed individually.
