In my role as a 3D Artist, I was tasked with creating precise 3D models of residential properties. Thanks to this experience, I'm used to working in a dynamic environment, continuously learning new tools and working closely within a team and interacting with different stakeholders, such as developers and other artists.

-

As I have also studied Game Art and Games Design, I am used to creating a visual product keeping in mind how aesthetics can affect the user experience, using design principles to guide the user toward a certain goal.

-
-
-

After a few years of creating 3D models for both my personal projects and professionally, I came to the realization that I was more interested in the analytical and cognitive side of design and decided to study UI Design.

-

I am currently looking for new opportunities in London or remotely and I look forward to hearing from you!

Project Brief, Competitor Analysis and Ideation

+
+
+
+

+ This project challenge was to create a to-do list app.
+ I have first analysed the other to-do apps on the market. There + were all kind of apps however I could not find a product for + people on the go that would allow them to quickly interact with + the app.
+ I have therefore decided to create a concept app aimed towards + university students and people with a similar lifestyle. +

+
+
+

+ The app would give to the users an overview of their day, with + to-dos or "activities" belonging to different categories. In + this way it would be possible to check if the day has a balanced + lifestyle or not and quickly change it as necessary. +

+
+ The Project Brief +

Create a money saving tool

- Brainstorming phase -

Positive feedback and Gamification

-

I decided to focus on how I could motivate the users to save money, using gamification.
- I believed the core need behind a saving money tool was to build awareness, discipline, ownership of the process of saving and give a sense of satisfaction through it. Positive feedback and a sense of - progress - seemed essential in order to replace a possibly negative feeling towards the process of saving money with a positive one.

-

During the brainstorming process, I have set down some important rules the app should follow:

-
    -
  • The app should follow the mentality of the glass half full, emphasizing how much the user has already saved instead of punishing for the money that have been spent.
    • -
  • The app will allow competition between users, in order to motivate the user.
    • -
-

Having competition without sharing financial information

-

Competitions can motivate users, however creating one in a financing app was pretty challenging. People usually do not share to others their financial details. Therefore sharing quantities of money spent and money saved was not - viable. - After considering a point system and other similar possible methods, I then have settled down for an easier system with goal progress percentages.

+

+ Users should be guided through the saving process while also + having an overview of how their money is spent. +

-
- - - Ranking system - -
-
-

The ranking system uses data from all the users the app has ever had. - Perhaps the user friends used the app in the past and the data is memorized. The app knows how much they have saved (in percentage) through time. It does not matter the amount of money needed by the goal as only the progress - percentage - is used for the ranking.

-

- As an example, the user might have a goal of £600 in 100 days, and the user has saved money for 10 days. That means:

- - - Ranking system - -

The user so far has saved £120, so 20% of the total amount (£600 ).

- - - Ranking system - -

So in the Ranking page, the user will see his / her friends goal progress and action progress when they were saving for their goal and they were at the same time percentage.

If the user hasn't saved enough money in the past, it is possible to commit some money to get back on track.(1)

-

Those money will get subtracted to the Extra money category.(2)

-

At the end of the week, the user needs to not have the Extra money value below 0. That way, the weekly rating will be of 3 stars because it means the user has reached the weekly goal and also saved the committed amount of money. The total progress bar will also be back on track.

Takeaway

+

+ Through this project I wanted to use my knowledge from my + university degree in Games Design to introduce gamification in + a FinTech app. After the testing phase, it was pretty obvious + most people were used to much simpler gamification + experiences. Because of this, I have learnt how sometimes it + is good to have different app modes or include some more + in-depth features as tertiary buttons in order to create a + more flexible experience. Understanding better the usability + rules of gamification is very important as it s becoming more + and more popular. +

+
+
+ +
+

Future iterations

+

+ A big future iteration would be allowing users to add more than + one saving goal. The spending overview bars do not currently + show anything about recurring payments (rent or mortgage, + subscriptions etc). It could be nice to add a feature showing in + black the recurring spending. +

Process

Firstly I analysed the current market. I looked at competitors apps, checking what features they had in common but also what made each app different. I've analysed the flow of the user experience and what - function felt more useful to - me as a user. I then checked what kind of new innovative functions are being implemented in the retail sector through digital devices. - I ran into some interesting findings, like the usage of beacons to notify the user of a new upcoming event when walking near a shop. However, there wasn't an app that would provide a good personalised - recommendation - section from the - first moment the user gets into the app.

I also realised how clothing apps should not limited to online shopping, but could used to enhance the experience in shops too.
- As a UX designer, it seemed to me those apps were trying to push their products on the users, instead of understanding the user needs first. While I could understand how a number of shoppers might want to just follow the latest - fashion - trends, I also thought some might be more picky and therefore that could have been the audience for my app.

During the initial screens creation I ran in a few issues.
- The first one was gender related. During the registration process I could have asked to the users to enter their gender and let that set whether the following clothes images would have been for men or women. However, this approach - did - not feel very inclusive and people from the LGBTQ+ community could find it quite outdated. I was also wondering how could I make my app appealing to gender fluid people too. I did some research, but it seemed websites and apps have - the - clothes divided by men, women, and perhaps girls and boys. Therefore I decided I would have only one main section and include images of many different styles, from feminine ones, to boyish and neutral ones.

Testing

Before moving to the high fidelity wireframes, I needed to test my wireframes. I created quickly two prototypes (one iOS and one Android) and had a few people testing it. This way I have found some pain points that needed fixing.

I created the high fidelity screens that I would have used for the prototype. While assigning the pictures to the Registration and customization process, I realised the screen could have been very confusing. If - I used a mix of images showing both men and women wearing different types of clothes in the same screen, users might mistakenly think there is a problem with the app. Therefore I added the classic sections: man, woman, girl and boy. I have however paid - attention to include gender neutral clothes in each one.

Prototyping & Gathering feedback

This process was very valuable, as it allowed + me to find further weak points but also have a global view of + the good ones within the app. I was particularly concerned by + the process for scanning an item, because it required a good + number of taps and screens due to the permissions needed for + the function.

Reflection on the project

+

+ The project went quite well. If I had the opportunity to work + on a similar project again, I think I would approach a few + things differently. I would interview a few people early on to + make sure my assumptions are correct and I would try to gather + feedback on my wireframes through a face-to-face interview or + a video call. While different people appreciated the features + I have implemented in my app, I think it would be better to + gather some data early on and have that guiding the project. +

+

Possible future implementations

+

+ In a second iteration, I would push further the app abilities + to enhance the user shopping experience.
