The Challenge

Tool Swap, is a community tool rental service app (Experimental work). I was asked to design a clean, easy to use , refreshed looking app for users in all age categories.

The problem

Users, need a dynamic interface that can display all your rentals and swaps but also a map to filter the distance you're willing to go as well as a profile and chat.

my role

I was involved in the research, ideation, prototyping, animation of the platform and presenting .

Project overview

I had 1 week to design the look of the app. I chose to adopt the double diamond method. This means that I first discover and define the problem I have to solve after I continuously develop, test, and iterate until we have a final product.

Execution

Design principles (Synthesizing)

Using the data I collected from the research, I began synthesizing it all into design principles that I had to follow in order to create the best look and experience for the users.

‍

What can we improve? (wireframes analysis)

I wanted to make sure that there was consistency in the rules of the layout and see if there are things that I can improve upon.

Mood-Boards? (visual exploration)

I crafted 3 different mood boards that helped me get the feel of how the interface should look.

prototype

I created a mid-fidelity prototype with interactive detail after defining a significant amount of the solution using the flow diagram and low-fidelity sketches. This prototype dramatically increased the chance to test out high-level flow, screen layouts, content, and basic interactions. This interactive prototype was made with the help of Figma.

Visual design

A clean, easy to use, and app was needed that would accommodate the new branding while also being suitable for digital interfaces.

what i learned

takeaway

This project provided a wonderful opportunity to test one's creativity as well as gain new abilities. It was a fun task in Figma to try with the map capabilities when it came to interactivity to see if I could make the map come to life and more dynamic.
