Navigating the complexities of Thrive turned out to be a more intricate journey than I initially envisioned. What started out as a grand idea, quickly turned into figuring out what the minimal viable product would look like. With so many directions this project could've gone whilst servicing a range of users, I would need to rapidly iterate throughout the design and userflows. Through this project, I learned to...
- Define a clear user flow within a tight timeline
- Prioritize features and experiences carefully. In the end, I settled on guiding users through onboarding, showcasing different personas, and finally unveiling the interface
- Pay attention to micro-spacing intricacies and focus on creating an intuitive design system that could evolve organically
