Role: User Experience & User Interface design, App concept
For: Self-initiated, developed as a part of UX/UI couse by Google
Year: 2023–24

Visual and Sound art history app and it’s desktop version, aim to make sound and visual art easily accessible, for those interested in learning more about art and culture, including people with visual impairment, time constraints, and in isolated areas where art is scarce. The goal was to create an easy to use tool that showcases both visual and sound art, that inspires art enthusiast and professionals. I have worked in this project from beginning to end (September 2023 – February 2024), conducting user research, user testing, designing, wireframing, prototyping.

Paper wireframes

Taking the time to draft iterations of each screen of the app on paper ensured that the elements that made it to digital wireframes would be well-suited to address user pain points. For the home screen, we prioritised a quick access to sound art and visual art categories, and a feature random art piece to help users save time and feed curious minds.

Stars were used to mark the elements of each sketch that would be used in the initial digital wireframes.

Digital wireframes

As the initial design phase continued, we made sure to base screen designs on feedback and findings from the user research.

The home screen provides easy access to an art piece randomly, and easy access to sound art, in addition to visual art.

Easy access to navigation that is screen reader friendly.

Mock-ups

The second usability study revealed frustration finding a way back to the home screen. To streamline this flow, I added a home button visible at all times on the bottom right corner of the screens, and a home button on the top of the menu screen.
