Good Day App

1. Project Overview

Type: UX / Mobile App Concept

Role: Lead UX & UI Designer

Timeline: 8 weeks

Tools Used: Figma, Illustrator, Ai, User Interviews.

2. Challenge

Young adults often face morning overwhelm, procrastination, and stress—even when they use to-do apps.

Goal: Design an app that motivates users toward daily tasks with empathy, without being pushy.

3. Process

Discovery

Interviewed 10 users (ages 18–30) to uncover friction points: endless lists, guilt-prone UX.

Define: Developing the persona was crucial in understanding the user’s profile and identifying the key needs the app should address.

Mapped user journeys to highlight stress triggers

Ideation & Sketching

Created low-fi wireframes and conducted quick tree tests to narrow direction.

Brainstormed solutions: micro-tasks, motivational nudges, natural language input.

The visual design is intentionally simple, featuring a two-color palette and a logo with warm, fluid typography. The overall concept for the UI focuses on achieving visual balance, ensuring the user feels calm and not overwhelmed.

Prototype & Test

Tested with 5 users: refined onboarding and button placements based on results.

Developed clickable prototypes in Figma.

User task flow


4. Design Solution

Micro-task view: Breaks down goals into small, achievable steps.
Gentle reminders: Soft prompts keeping tone positive and non-judgmental.
Mood check-ins: Users log feelings, and the app adjusts visual tone accordingly.
Motivational visuals: Warm color palette and subtle illustrations evoke calm and brightness.



5. Outcome & Reflection

User Testing Feedback:

“I feel accomplished even when I finish one simple thing.”
“The app feels encouraging, not nagging.”

Next Steps:

Integrate behavior-tracking dashboards
Create a reactive onboarding experience based on mood logs
Validate with broader user testing (20–30 participants)
