TRY PROTOTYPE
Expressing an optimistic and calming visual identity
The logotype and choice of purple as the primary color are used to symbolize optimism and a new beginning when it comes to embracing our skin health.

Paired with microinteractions and brand visual elements, the app is able to offer a delightful user experience.
A system to tie it all together
I created reusable elements and components to make the design process more efficient and establish a more consistent experience all around.
Takeaways
Be cautious about UX writing
One of the biggest challenges was learning how to build positive phrases and messages throughout the app so users feel encouraged and motivated to continue caring for their skin health.
Empathize, empathize, then empathize
The resistance towards skin scoring was something I had not anticipated. It would have been helpful to have done testing earlier on that was focused on the scoring aspect.
Don’t make users do the work
Users mentioned that they did not always have the time or want to spend time deciphering a chart. They are using an app to make their lives easier, not add more work onto their plate.
Potential Next Steps
  • Performing Round 2 of Usability Testing
  • Measuring success after launch through user signups, app reviews, and daily active users.
