Project overview: VGZ sought to create an iOS app that would serve as a personal coach, assisting users in managing stress through exercises and meditation while tracking their progress. The app features a diverse set of 50 exercises, ranging from basic techniques to full-body 45-minute scans. The primary objective was to deliver a user-friendly experience that users could comprehend effortlessly, emphasizing progress tracking on the home page. The app was designed to run on iOS, Android, and tablet devices.


Project objective

  1. Create an intuitive user interface with progress tracking.

  2. Ensure multi-platform compatibility for wide accessibility.

 

Approach and Solutions: Collaborating closely with my colleague Alex Starr, I took charge of shaping the interaction design and initiating the visual design process. To address the client's needs, we implemented the following solutions:

  1. Intuitive Exercise Selection: We designed the app to allow users to choose exercises based on their specific situation, providing options for using it at home, in a noisy train with headphones, or even at work. Users can also customize the duration of the exercises, enabling adaptability to various scenarios.

  2. Lotus Flower Progress Tracker: To offer a clear sense of progress, we integrated a lotus flower on the home page, which grows and expands as users complete exercises. This visual element provides a symbolic representation of the user's journey and accomplishments.

  3. Comprehensive Platform Compatibility: By developing the app for iOS, Android, and tablet devices, we ensured accessibility to a wide range of users, accommodating their preferred devices.
