OVERVIEW

For this project at Ironhack, I had to develop a tracking app from scratch and design a MVP. During the two weeks, I created Chamomile, a meditation app. I aimed to develop an app that can help people achieve their meditation goals and needs.

Project Outline

10 days.
Tools: Figma, Google Forms, Maze, Zoom and Slack.
Approach: Designing Thinking.

PROCESS

Quantitative Research, Qualitative Research, Affinity Diagram, HMW, Empathy Map, Problem Statement, JTBD, Competitor Analysis, User Persona, User Journey, Moscow Method, User Flow, Sitemap, Lo-Fi, Mid-Fi, Usability Testing, Mood Board, Style Tile, Hi-Fi, and looooots of tests.

USER RESEARCH

We did user research throughout user survey and Interview. We discovered that for many people, meditation is a way to relieve everyday stress, to be healthy, develop creativity, focus and ease anxiety in the medium and long term. Although all users agreed with all benefits the practice of meditation can bring, it is also hard to learn and practice daily.

PROBLEM STATEMENT AND HYPOTHESIS

PERSONA

The next step was to empathize with the user through empathy and affinity mapping. With these tools, I could understand who I was empathizing with, their goals, needs, pains, and gains when meditating and using meditation apps. After that I could craft this project persona, Daniela.

VISUAL COMPETITOR ANALYSIS

Looking at the competition, I wanted to identify the current identities that are being used within the market, so that:

I could be are aware of current trends in this space
Have an idea of what the possible customers may expect.
set my product apart from the competition
Make the product’s identity look different from what’s already out there.

USER FLOW

STORYBOARD

Demonstrating user scenarios

PROTOTYPING

I crafted my low-fidelity prototype by hand, following Daniela´s user flow. I sent it to Figma, and after some possible user feedbacks, I began designing my Mid fi.
