Led the UX/UI redesign of a preventative gut health startup, improving user experience and visual appeal.
Working directly with the founder and CEO of RootMD, I helped design his vision for this app and website and helped hand it off to developers.
It all started with research. Before designing the initial concept, the founder and I both agreed upon two guiding ideals that would become the company foundation. We wanted the brand and the overall look to feel vibrant and fun (many of the testing kits we researched were too rigid and stale). We also wanted the user experience to feel easy yet informative for the patient.
The process began with research on other types of companies related but also different than our space. I created a mood-board to get a feel for what the brand and experience could look like once completed.
Then the design came next. I aimed to have my design focus on a user friendly approach to personal health. I wanted it to be minimal but also have enough substance to entertain the user and give them a sense of ownership.
This was the very first end to end UI project that I was tasked with creating. It was an awesome experience to get to build an app from the ground up along side a founder. I learned a lot about how to iterate and build upon previous ideas, and to completely pivot from others. Because a lot of the features I built out never will see the light of day, It was a true lesson of non-attachment.
