Company
Role
As the sole Product Designer, I developed the application design from its original prototype into a fully functional app using the Google Material 3 design system.
Responsibilities
Product Design, Branding, Research, UX Design, UI Design, Problem Solving, Cross-Team Collaboration.
Style Guide & Component Library
Challenge
Design an app for a startup with a limited budget, basic branding (a logo and 3 colour palette) and an existing MVP prototype.
Solution
Expanded the branding into a complete style guide and component library for development handover. Established a framework which allows for expansion and can be used across multiple applications.
Collaborated with the company Founder, CPO, and development team on requirement definition based on stakeholder and user feedback.
Sample App Screens
Constructed personas, use cases and scenarios in order to create comprehensive app user flows and screen designs for the entire app.
Introduced the concept of a recording schedule and adjusted the platforms proposed structure to slimline the experience and reduce development work.
Applied the new styles and framework throughout the app, giving it a more modern, professional and “medical” aesthetic.
Original vs Updated Sign In
Proposed a side navigation for landscape view which is important for on site recording when the device is attached to a tripod. Clear and easy to use controls are essential for this specific use case.
Included Record and Scheduling call to actions on individual horse listing items along with key information from each horse.
Original vs Updated Horses Listing
Improved the search experience throughout the app by introducing filter options and suggested results based on partial matches.
Original vs Updated Search
Removed all setting controls from the record screen as they are required to be defined by default in order to produce recordings of a particular quality.
Navigation and screen title helps users return to the previous screen with confidence.
Original vs Updated Record Video
Results & Learnings
These changes significantly improved usability, particularly when the device was mounted on a tripod in landscape mode. Recording videos and locating the correct horse became quick and intuitive, minimising disruption to trainers’ daily routines.
The app has since gone live with its first customers and has been very well received.
Given the project timelines and budget, leveraging Google Material 3 and its Figma assets plugin enabled rapid iteration while maintaining consistency and quality across the experience.
