Redesign Facebook Profile

Today's daily UI challenge was to design a user profile. I gave the Facebook app a familiar but fresh look!

Facebook is the blueprint, but I believe less can be more. When you have too many features, the app can get overwhelming. In my redesign, I wanted to focus on the aspects of Facebook that bring people together because that's what social media is all about!

The feature I want to explain is moving + (add a story and create a post) to the fixed header. On the original user profile for the mobile app, 'add a story' and 'create a post' are separate CTAs on a continuous scroll. If we combine and move those actions to an area that's always available, such as the header, I believe it would improve the user experience for someone wanting to share some good news with their community!

None of this redesign is made from scratch. It's taking what is already there and reimaging it. 💭

This design challenge was just that: a challenge. Jenna Brown and I give ourselves about an hour to create. And then we come together and show each other what we've got. I wanted to confidently articulate why I chose to redesign the way I did and especially for an app that's used daily by billions! Anyway, I hope you like my redesign. And Facebook, don't take it to heart. 💙
