Downtime

  • Case study - Career Foundry bootcamp project

  • Duration: 4/5 months part time

  • Role: Complete UX + UI, digital design

Project summary

Overview

Downtime is a self care app that aims to help users prioritise their self care conveniently and easily. The aim was to consolidate features that are often found across a number of apps into one product in order to help users with a busy schedule to plan self care time.

Problem statement:


People need a way to plan and prioritise self care within a busy schedule using one convenient product.

We will know this to be true when we see high levels of user engagement across a range of features and positive qualitative feedback from user testing/reviews.

Project Goals

  • User: Conveniently plan and complete self care 

  • Business: Increase engagement and conversion to premium subscriptions

  • Product: Launch MVP so that further testing and iterations can be made

Personas/User journeys

Using results from research I created some personas and user journeys that reflect the needs of potential users.

Marias main priorities are time efficiency and personalisation, whereas Jacks are to be supported with building a self care routine.

Using the findings from research I completed some quick prototype sketches based on key user flows.
