Dog Walking App

This project was created as part of Dribbble's Product Design Course

Our team started with the idea of creating an app for dog owners who needed pet care and took the app through the following steps:

• Competitive Research

• User Personas

• User Interviews

• Wireframes

• Visual Design

• Prototype

The research and competitive analysis phases were conducted as a group. It was up to each individual to create their idea of what the app should include and the visual design elements.

Users are the center of our designs

Before we can design the product, we need to understand our users.

User Personas

The Problem?

Dog Owners don't trust strangers with their pets. They need a way to know pets are getting trusted, reliable caregivers through an app service.

To create trust, I focused on the following features:

• Dog Walker Badges - including background verification

• Length of time as a walker in the app

• Reviews from other dog owners

• Call, text or video chat with your potential dog walkers

• GPS map of your dog's walk

Wireframes

After creating sketches on paper, I designed some wireframes with initial design ideas.

The Visual Designs

Wireframes were tested with sample users, and I made some modifications before creating the visual designs.

Summary

If this was an actual client project, I would expect more user testing to make sure the designs and layouts were functional. It was a fun and educational experience to take a product from concept to a completed design.
