TURE: Mobile App and Responsive Website
date
sep '23 - nov '23
role
ux designer + identity designer
challenge
In the U.S., 4.5 million children are adopted, and 400,000 are in foster care. TURE found a need for better cultural education and resources for parents.
solution
Design an app that will improve education on different cultures and help parents find resources to implement those cultures into their children’s lives.
responsibilities
Conduct interviews, build wireframes, lo-fi and hi-fi prototypes, conduct usability studies, and iteration.
process
ideate & research
I developed interview questions based on my experience as a foster parent, which was used to conduct user interviews. Most participants reported feeling disconnected from their children’s heritage, and they didn’t know how to incorporate new cultures into their daily lives.
The feedback received through research made it very clear that users would be open and willing to participate in cultural traditions and practices of their children if there were a reliable source of information.
wireframe & prototype
After ideating and drafting some paper wireframes, I created the initial designs for the TURE app. These designs focused on delivering our user personalized access to events, recipes and education.
To prepare for usability testing, I created a low-fidelity prototype that connected the user flow of finding a local event and adding it to a calendar.
design & refine
To prepare for usability testing, I created a low-fidelity prototype that connected the user flow of finding a local event and adding it to a calendar.
With the app designs completed, I started work on designing the responsive website. I used TURE sitemap to guide the organizational structure of each screen’s design to ensure a cohesive and consistent experience across devices.
